Disk Usage Always at 99%

[ComputerNoob103]

For the past week I noticed my boot time has doubled. Not only that but whenever I turn on an application, it takes forever to load, and my disk utilization gets up to 99%, whether it be a game, or just chrome, it always does this. I have tried many solutions, disabling superfetch, and changing memory allocation, all to no avail.

Windows Key + R should open up a run box which you should type in "msconfig" and than go to start-ups and see if there are any programs that are affecting the start-up. I would check that out first.

If not I'd reference this and attempt a few of these steps:

I have done both what you said and the methods used in the article, but it has not helped. If anything, it has gotten worse.

Pasting from a similar thread.

If you're running Win 10, you can try this:

http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-3267507/fix-100-disc-usage-system-service.html

It's helped some people, but not everyone experiencing this problem. Other causes can include a failing hard drive (download and run manufacturer suggested disk utility software, SMART check etc), competing (ie Defender + other) or corrupted antivirus software, actual viruses infecting your machine, AHCI mode failure, and stuck Windows processes such as Windows update and WMP indexer.

use glary utilities and stop any software that are looking to update at start up like adobe and similar ,also do you have any software that run in background like a system backup that could hug hdd .

Attempting that does not seem to have helped, and the disk is perfectly healthy, at this point I'm considering just wiping the drive and have a clean re-install

did you made a full virus and malwares scan in case before the reformat .

Yes, I have. This drive has only been in use for 2 weeks.

this system is prebuild or you build it .

I built it, I had an SSD but it failed after only 4 months of use.

 

[scout_03]

what happens that the hdd fail from what cause .

what happens that the hdd fail from what cause .

You mean the SSD? It just went and died overnight out of nowhere. As for my current HDD I just noticed it started to significantly slow down after a couple of days of use, so I'm not sure what caused it.

 

[scout_03]

so use the hdd maker software to test if the virus and malware scan did not find something . for the ssd does it only stop or have burn on the connector .

The SSD has been RMAd and im still waiting for it back, and the software says the disk is clean.

 

[scout_03]

clean from virus and malwares but what about short and long test result for it .

It passed the short test, but I've yet to do the long test, which will probably take 6 hours.

 

[scout_03]

how long does it took for short about 2 min or more .
