[SOLVED] Ssd with windows always att 100%

[fiskenmeddisken]

The ssd ive installed windows on is always at 100% and will dip to 0 for a few second and then rush to 100% again. I tried to reinstall windows but nothing changed

Is this in relation to a new install? If so, how recent a version are you on with the installer?

According to your internet speed it is not uncommon for older Windows versions to utilize a lot of resource updating/installing the newer versions and security updates.

The next logical step in my eyes is to test the SSD, check it's health. Could be going bad.

This can vary wildly based on various factors.

If you are on Win 10 there are a couple of things that can be utilized there. Type "optimize" or "storage" in your search engine and explore those options.

Your drive manufacturer might have a utility specific to their drives, such as Samsung Magician.

Some mobo have utilities in BIOS that can do simple tasks, and many of the pre-built options have similar features.

You can use other online tools as well. Easiest thing I can tell you (and not trying to be smart) is to type into your preferred search engine, how to test "such and such" drive. The specific model can be found in device manager as well as task manager.

go to task manager and see what is using the disk on the first TAB. That will give you the answer on what is maxing out the disk. Virus, bitcoin, virus scanning, updates?

Good luck
