It's time to think about upgrade to SSD.
If you think, you can avoid this, then windows 10 updates will bring your mechanical HDD to absolute resource exhaustion.

 

[dhdog31]

its actually a hybrid drive

 

[dhdog31]

and winupdate is not the problem

Can you post screenshot from Resource Monitor - disk tab, disk activity section ?
(order by column total and make file names fully visible)

Spoiler

Should look similar to this. Just make file column larger.

System is writing into pagefile a lot.
Not enough ram. Upgrade your ram.

What are full specs of your pc?

Yeah, chrome is eating up huge amounts of ram.
You want it to be closed, when gaming
or get more ram.
