Came out of Far Cry 3 and opened GeForce Experience and my disc usage was at 100%. Any idea why (it was fine in game until I quit).

Also, in the event log Event 219 apparently occurs daily
The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device SWD\SensorsAndLocationEnum\LPSensorSWDevice.

I notice no performance problems at all. Any idea what that garbage up there means?? I'm not particularly looking to fix either, would just like to know the cause

Also Event 8303 happened yesterday at about 9AM
Scoping unsuccessful for shadowcopy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy5 with error 0x80070057.

What does this stuff even mean? 😵
 
I recently installed a new hard drive and re-installed windows, now my sik usage never goes above about 20%. However I had the same problem, and although this solution didn't completely solve it, it definitely helped:

1. Go to Control Panel> All control panel items > System
2. Click on Advanced system settings
3. Under performance, click on settings
4. Go to Advanced tab
5. Under Virtual memory, click on Change
6. UN-check "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" check box
7. Select your windows drive (where OS is installed)
8. Click on Custom size radio button
9. Set Initial size equivalent to your RAM size in MB
10. Set Maximum size to twice of your RAM size in MB
11. Click on Set
12. Click on OK thrice
13. Restart your system

Don't know if the shadow copy thing is anything to do with the fact windows never made a new recovery partition when it installed. It made a 350 mb one when I first tried to install and never used it, so it's just unallocated space that I can't do anything with on my secondary drive
