Question Computer Suddenly Running Very Slowly

[King Shear]

So within the last week, my computer's performance has absolutely tanked for no apparent reason. No viruses, no hardware issues, I've unplugged and replugged everything, Nothing seems to work. I'm running at 100% disk usage and almost always above 50% CPU usage at all times, regardless of what's open.

Ran a diagnostic with this result - https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/18084987

Definitely shouldn't be running like this.

Any ideas? I'd really like to not have to buy a new desktop.

Looks like Chrome, mainly.

Nothing. Don't think Chrome is the issue here.

I wonder if this might be due to a failing hard drive. Try to run crystaldiskinfo to see if this might be the case
