Windows 10: Disk Usage and memory stuck on 100% in Windows Task Manager

This a question in the system . I have a similar problem, but quite different. Both memory and disk usage keep shifting by the minute from 10 to 100 and everything in between. I could not reply, even though it didn't say thread locked. therefore I am opening a new thread. Any help would be greatly appreciatedthank youTEEKAY

100% disk usage and memory usage

Hi,

100% disk usage and memory usage can be caused by a software corruption, running application running on the background and malware or virus infection.

For us to properly isolate the issue and provide an appropriate resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

• Did the issue happen after installing the Fall Creators?
• Did you receive any error messages?
• Can you send us the screenshot of the Task Manager showing the 100% disk usage and memory usage?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

For isolation purposes, please perform a clean boot to see if the same issue will occur. Refer to this
article for more information on how to perform a clean boot
in Windows.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Task manager showing disk usage 100%

100% disk usage can have many causes.

What are the top 5 processes listed in the task manager using the disk?

 

Windows 10 - 100% Disk Usage in Device Manager

A concerning issue I am currently facing with my PC is the disk usage, where my PC is best described as lethargic during start up, and less commonly but evidently unresponsive afterwards. Upon checking the task manager, it informs me the disk usage is at
100% - so obviously something is draining this feature. What isn't so obvious is what is causing this, despite the task manager alerting me to the numerous software which is causing it. I end the task for the notable issues, and the 100% warning still
remains. This has happened to me over a year ago, and I did a restore and wiped everything. This fixed the issue for me temporarily, and the 100% disk usage came back to me within a few weeks. At the moment I
have 1.2TB of the 1.81TB SSHD space free, and my computer specs are below (I don't know if this will be useful).





I have searched online and I have found a guide which I have linked
here. I have completed each and every step that the guide asks me, and I keep running into this 100% disk usage. For a run down, I have:

• Disabled Windows Search
• Disabled Super Fetch
• Performed a Disk Check (Took 8 hours, did nothing!)
• Reset Virtual Memory
• Changed the settings in Google and Skype
• Fix the "StorAHCI.sys driver"
• Updated device drivers

At this moment, I am stumped into what to try next. I am reluctant to restore everything off my machine again, as the issue came back to me within a few weeks. Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Chester
