I've recently noticed in task manager that my disc usage is constantly between 80-100%, and my CPU usage constantly moves between 40-60% for no apparent reason. Fortunately, I haven't noticed any discernible performance issues, albeit, the CPU consumption causes massive heat buildup, leading to expedited overheating if I do anything else CPU intensive.
I did learn that I can fix this by using a simple system maintenance and disc cleanup to reduce my disc to 0-10% and my CPU to around 3-15% (with Chrome active). However, I have to perform this every time I boot up my PC, because upon start up, the disc and CPU always return to abnormal levels.
Now, I think this may have to do with a corrupt Windows Update perhaps (but I'm not very tech savvy), since there was an instance where I had to restart my laptop during an update a week or two ago, because the update was frozen, but it did install the next time I turned my laptop on.
Would anyone happen to know why my disc and CPU are always essentially maxed on startup, and how I could solve this without a daily disc cleanup?
