So I recently updated to the new 2004 build of windows 10 and my pc started lagging a lot. I checked the task manager for issues and it shows my hdd is at 100% at all times maybe dropping to 98% for a second or two and after some time a new error also started popping up. unable to load dll "iaStorAfsServicesApi.dll" the specifies module could not be found exception from HRESULT:0x8. I tried reinstalling intel optane memory pinning and uninstalling the previous one but it didn't work.
One more thing, my OS is installed in my Hdd and i use my ssd as a secondary drive. Ssd is functioning fine as of now.
My Laptop configurations are as follows:
Dell inspiron 7567 gaming:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Ram: 16 GB 2400 Mhz
Gpu: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Storage: 1Tb TOSHIBA MQ02ABD100H (THIS USAGE PROBLEM IS WITH THIS ONE)
Second drive: 480 GB M.2 SATA WDC WDS480G2G0B-00EPW0 (USUALLY STAYS AT 0% AT IDLE)
