I'm wondering if Windows System Restore Points settings may need tweaking, or, if other background-running programs are constantly scanning, logging, scanning, logging, and more scanning, logging.

its kind of just what hard drives do? get an ssd and use the hdd as a slave drive... i have never seen a hard drive that hasn't hit more than constant 70+% when being used.. (idle should be at around 0-15% ish? unless its full)

for windows 10
right click on "start menu" goto "task manager" click the buttons for hard drive usage. might give a tale tell sign of what program is using the HD.

going further, click on "performance" tab, then click on "open resource monitor" then click on "DISK" tab. this can give you better details of what is going on.

============
being lazy. i want to say "spy bot search and destroy" free version from safer-networking.org has a bit more in depth information. but it has been a while.

============
and my end all statement, is check to see about updated drivers for computer, both chipset for the motherboard, but also other drivers for computer.

ok a couple others... automatic upgrades, restore points, some sort of antivirus software that comes with some sort of additional software that checks for upgrades for software, or checks for driver updates, can cause some hard drive performance issues. if you have any one drive, dropbox, google drive, these might be place some usage on hard drive, if you just dumped a bunch of files/folders into them to sync up. any sort of major unzip and/or compressing of files/folders can cause a strain.

If you want to try Spybot S&D, get the 1.6x version, it is much less a Swiss Army Knife than version 2.x
