Question PC Cpu and Disk at 100 while gaming and while doing small tasks.

[TM.Ny35]

Hello, I'm new to this forum, not sure is this the correct section.

PC specs:
Windows 10 home
Intel i5 6400
Evga GTX 1060 6gb
16GB Ram
2TB WD HDD (200gb left)
200 internet speed


I've been having these issues for a while where my pc runs cpu and disk at 100. It's quite slow and takes forever to do simple things like using google chrome. My main annoyance, is when gaming, mainly Fortnite, it lags very hard my first few games, and then stutters for rest of my playing session. I never really get a smooth consistent 60fps, and even sometimes the textures dont load in for a while lol. I play on 1920x1080 w/vsync on high settings. I've also get the same lag on medium, and I dont feel like I should have to play on low with the specs I have. Another weird thing that happens is when installing a update to fortnite for example, it could be 300mb and take 90mins!

I'm not sure what to do, maybe get a SSD?

I think its been like this for a year or two now, but I would finally like to deal with it.

Please let me know if I left out any info that would help

do a full virus and malwares scan and ssd will be good for os and games on the hdd also clean old temp files with cookies and defrag .

Ok, I am running a malwarebytes scan now.

It found 22 potential unwanted items, mostly linked to a amazon service, but no malware or virus.

clean them and you see you might have some tracking cookies that use your system .

Ok, I cleared them. My PC improved while idling, nothing is at 100 at the moment. But while gaming, both disk and cpu run at or near 100 still 🙁

I can just see what's running at startup simply from task manager, correct?
