Are you running backups? I think system restore uses it as well.
did you get any windows updates recently?

No, I'm not running backups. Yes, I think it was installing updates, but sometimes out of nowhere disk usage becomes 100% even without installing updates. I formatted my PC yesterday and installed Windows 10 again right after I posted this, still disk usage at 100% it never changes driving me CRAZY! I can't do anything, I can't play games, nor browse comfortably. Do you think the problem is from my hardware? Because my PC is 2 years old.

Do you have a Hard Disk Drive as your Master Drive?

Yes, it is my only hard drive in this PC.

Thought so, its a bug in the Windows 10 OS that Microsoft still hasn't fixed, all OS's before 10 never had this issue.

If your Master Drive is a HDD then this will occur but if you have a SSD as your Master Drive and a HDD for your second then this issue will not occur. Back when i had a HDD as my main i had this issue and i found that no one else had found a fix for the issue yet. I emailed Microsoft and they acknowledged it was a known issue.

I have a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD and i have had no storage usage issues since i switch my main drive to SSD and pulled my HDD down to second.

But, this problem happened to me in Windows 7 as well, that's why I switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10, do you think installing Windows 7 again would solve this problem?

Hmm well that's interesting, your the first case i've seen that has had 100% on Windows 7. Do you not have any spare drives you can test? Either that or see if you can put the drive in another pc.

I fixed my problem! All I did is changing my hard drive, and now my PC as fast as the old days.
