Windows 10 Disk usage always at 100%, random fps drop

[poshwan]

I've already disabled Superfetch and sysmain, but my disk usage is still always at 100%. How do I fix this? Not sure if that's related to my random fps dropping? Help with fps dropping is appreciated too.

Disabling superfetch will degrade an SSD faster due to the increase in write operations. You can either use the built-in resource monitor and performance monitor or download and run procexp from sysinternals to determine what is causing the resource spike.

I tried a process explorer and here are the results. I sorted from highest to lowest usage, and nothing seems to be using an abnormal amount. Any other ideas?

 

[Neemobeer]

You don't have the I/O columns enabled. Right click on the column headers and add the Delta Read and Delta Writes, sort by those

 

[poshwan]

Here. Anything look abnormal?

No doesn't look like the disk is pegged at all.

No doesn't look like the disk is pegged at all.

What could the issue be then? Task manager always says disk usage is at 100% or near 95%. Windows freeze when I am dragging them around my screen as well. I'm really stuck at what the issue is.

 

[poshwan]

CPU always stays lower than 20% so it's definitely not my cpu

Sims 4 even makes the disk spike.

Well yeah a game is going to be reading and writing a lot of data so that's normal.

It happens when I'm just on my desktop, no game running...
Anyone else have any ideas??

When it's pegged on just the desktop what does proexp show and you may also when to look at resource monitor it's quite a bit more granular than task manager.

In some cases I've seen system services pegging the system due to operating system corruption.

You can try running , from an elevated (administrator) command prompt sfc /scannow and also run chkdsk C: /R

First i would like to see the snapshot of your task manager exactly which apps are causing 100% CPU.

I had this issue and it seems some others encountered the bug. What fixed it for me is going to settings, system, notifications, and turning off "show me tips about Windows." I believe that was the one causing problems, though I turned all of them off besides the app notifications. System processes went back down after a restart and haven't spiked since.

Will you help me to buy a new gaming laptop for myself?

Norton, Origin, Steam and Chrome are all going to be scanning your sshd at the same time... to be clear a sshd is not the same as a ssd and you need to let the system scan run so it knows what data to load into the fast access part

i would;
remove Norton, disable Origin and Steam unless I'm actually playing those games... one at a time
Chrome = up to you
