Windows 10: Disk use 100% and slow performance

Hi friends, Request your kind advice.

My All in one PC 8 years old- Indian Brand Reconnect, model now discontinued is having IntelR Core TM i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07 GHz processor. It has installed memory RAM of 4 GB, 64 bit OS, x64 based processor.

It has a storage of 500 GB on ST500DM002-1BD142 ATA Device on 3.5 inch HDD.


I recently did a clean install no old files retained.


Still the computer hangs. Programs in use are edge, Teams, outlook etc.


Deleting temp files helps at times.


If I remove the HDD and fresh install Windows on 2.5 inch 250 GB SSD, would it help my PC work smoothly?

Are there other alternatives too?

Kindly advise.


Regards

Amit.

Disk 100%

Hello,

If your PC is exhibiting a slow performance or a high CPU disk usage, it could be that Windows may need to update some outdated components within the system. When you check for updates, your PC will also search for the latest device drivers, which can also
help improve the performance of your device. We suggest that you check if there are updates waiting to be installed on your device. Here's how to check for updates in Windows 10:

• Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security >
  Windows Update, select Check for updates.
• If there are updates waiting to be installed, kindly install them, and restart your device to make sure that the updates are installed.
• After restarting, check if the disk usage is still at 100%.

If the issue persists, feel free to post back.

 

Computer slow performance inWindows 10 and 100% disk usage.

Hi,

We do agree that slow computer performance will be annoying. Have you referred to the articles about “Windows performance recorder” and “How to fix 100% disk usage in Windows 10” mentioned in our previous post. Which may help you to resolve your issue.

Possibly an applications installed on your computer might be causing the problem, Suggest you to uninstall the apps which are not used frequently on your computer.

Make sure you have enough Random access memory on your computer to run multiple apps on your computer, if there is no space consider increasing your memory space.

Hope this helps.
