Hi, My PC has been running slow a while. On my task manager the disk is at 100% at all times. And is averaging around 7mb/s read and around 5mb/s write. How can I slove this?

Disk utilization 100% in Task manager

My laptop shows 100% disk utilization in the task manager for the first 20-30 mins after I start my machine. During this time when it is 100%, system performance is very slow. After 30 mins, disk utilization drops again under 20% and everything is normal.

I tried reaching out to Microsoft help a couple of times in the past and they suggested me to update my windows. That may have resolved the issue temporarily for few days but it starts behaving like this again.

 

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 PC very slow. Task manager shows disk usage at 100%.

how can I troubleshoot why my new, windows 10, update 2002 PC is running so slow? Especially for the first 10 minutes after PC startup.

When I run task manager the disk usage percent shows as 100%. The top processes are microsoft anti maleware, google chrome installer, microsoft compatibility telemetry. ( they have been at the top of the list for over 5 minutes! )

I built this PC from components. ASUS motherboard, very fast Intel processor, seagate 2TB 256MB cache disk drive.

All drivers from the motherboard were installed.

When I right click device manager, disk drives, windows says the device is working properly. Write caching policy is checked. The disk driver provider is Microsoft. date 6/21/2006. version 10.0.19041.1 ST2000DM00802FR102

how do I troubleshoot very poor performance on a windows 10 PC?

thanks,
