High HDD usage in idle

[RaklopGaming]

As the title says, I have the problem with high HDD usage in idle. I can guarentee I do not have any malware because the PC with this issue is not connected to Internet, and I did not transfer any files between that PC and this PC. But, interestingly, HDD usage decreases when I am playing games (Minecraft, Call of Duty 6, BF3...). Please help me ASAP

Check your running processes. By that game list I assume Windows is involved. There are two/three things to look for. Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool (part of Windows updates), Microsoft Defender (Anti-Virus/Ant--malware), and Disk defragmentation. In Vista and later the disk defragments itself when idle.

If you run another anti-virus program or a Data loss prevention application these two can increase hard drive idle loads, but give those resources back when you launch a resource intensive application.

Also, patch Tuesday was yesterday, so it may also be our old friend the .NET Optimizer.

Thank you, but this was false alert. High HDD usage stopped after 5 minutes, Kaspersky was scanning (Rootkit idle scan), even though it is outdated. Sorry, I did not intend to troll
