Hello. It's been a while since I've been experiencing various problems.
I have a Lenovo Y50-70, a respectable laptop.
i7, 12GB, GTX 680M and 1TB HDD.
I state that I have dual boot in Clover with OSX.
It's been a while since I feel it very very slow. It takes about 2 and a half minutes to get started. When I start it, the icons update late (before the battery tray icon did not appear, I had to restart the explorer service, now maybe I solved it, but it still does with the audio icon, sometimes) the applications there it takes a lot to start, if I click for example on start, the animation of opening the menu starts like after 2 seconds. I noticed that the HDD is almost permanently at 100%, for practically every operation, even the most banal. I have done all the scans in the world.
In boot I have disabled practically everything, from task manager, from different apps and even from "autoruns for windows". I also tried to disable the fast boot, thinking it could be the problem. I have uninstalled all the optimization programs, and it seems to be a little better, but always bad. I have a 2007 Desktop that is more responsive at times. I tried everything, EVERYTHING really, starting from the steps for the clean boot, ending with the paging size. I did all the memory and HDD tests, restored the corrupt system files with shell commands. I followed all the steps of my competence, and followed all the possible web guides, but I can't solve. Nobody can understand the underlying problem. A way to restore / repair system files without having to format or reinstall Windows would be ideal.
The only solution that I have not tried is formatting, but it is not a considerable solution, because I have tested everything in relation to OSX. Years have passed since I did it, and OSX I use it for work, formatting Win would create problems for OSX, with risk of data loss or access, and I cannot allow it.

It sounds like you've already covered a lot of troubleshooting steps. Here are a few more things you can try to address the issue of the laptop being slow and the HDD being constantly at 100%: 1. Check for Malware and Viruses: - Run a full antivirus scan to ensure that there are no malware or viruses causing the high HDD usage. 2. Check Task Manager: - Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to see which processes are utilizing the most hard drive resources. This might give you an idea of which process is causing the high disk usage. 3. Update Drivers: - Ensure that all your device drivers are up to date, especially the storage controller and the GPU drivers. 4. Disk Cleanup: - Use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool...

Disk Cleanup: - Use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool to clean up unnecessary files and free up disk space. 5. Disable Superfetch: - Superfetch can sometimes cause high disk usage. You can try disabling it temporarily to see if it makes a difference. 6. Check for Windows Updates: - Make sure you have all the latest Windows updates. Sometimes, updates can include performance improvements and bug fixes. 7. Check the SMART Status of Your HDD: - Use a tool to check the health of your hard drive. You may want to consider replacing the HDD if it's failing. 8. Check for Background Programs: - Some background programs and services can cause high disk usage. You can try disabling unnecessary startup programs using Task Manager. 9. Consider an SSD Upgrade: - If your laptop can accommodate it, consider upgrading to an SSD. SSDs are faster and can greatly improve overall system responsiveness. If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to consider a system refresh or a clean installation of Windows. It's a more drastic step, but it can often resolve persistent performance issues.
