SSD usage keeps spiking to 100%, locking the system for a few seconds(Windows 10)

[makwikus]

Like the title says. Every few minutes/half hour/hours... The intervals seem completely random as do the reasons for them.
Whether I'm browsing the web, opening Steam, Spotify, file explorer, ANYTHING, the Task Manager will show the SSD C: drive usage spike up to 100% and stay there for ~30 seconds making the system unresponsive.
Is there a reason and solution for this?

My system:
MSI B350M Bazooka
AMD Ryzen 5 1500x(stock cooler)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2666MHz(single stick, because budget and I'll buy another one soon)
EVGA GTX 960 SC 4GB
Transcend 128GB SSD
WD Blue 1TB HDD
Be Quiet Pure Power 9 500W Semi-modular PSU
Freshly installed Win10 64-bit onto a formatted SSD

Everything except the drives and PSU is completely new. The PSU was bought one month ago.
The drives were bought in October and until now both worked perfectly.
System was built 2 days ago. It is not overclocked. Everything except the RAM(2667MHz XMP) is at default. BIOS and chipset drivers are up-to-date.

I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!

Bump? 🙁

After days, weeks(months even, since I first encountered this problem last year) of digging through forums and lousy "how-to" guides I finally stumbled upon a forum post that identified the sudden 100% spike as ID 129 in Event Viewer. So I started googling that and I came upon this gem: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19658497

It worked like a dream! Forget all the prefetch disabling, sfc scanning and other crap. THIS. IS. IT!

EDIT: I would really appreciate it if someone marked this post as the solution. Is it even possible?

Thanks, Me!

Could you summarize the solution in 12 words or so, to prevent people from having to read through/search through the other thread for the actual solution?

Right, sorry. I got excited and forgot to do it.

I don't know if summarizing it in 12 words is possible since the solution requires editing the registry, but I can certainly say that it's the green-colored post marked as Verified Answer. It's right under the first post.
