Ever since I started using Windows 10, every time I open Task Manager in detailed view, disk usage always hits 100%. If it’s not a century, it’s always above 90%, which is pretty odd. For the first few days, I thought it might be due to the heavy video rendering I did on my PC for our YouTube channel related work. But after a few weeks, I realized that even when my system was idle and no main background processes were running, it still hit the 100% mark just for disk usage. CPU status is mostly idle, only 2 to 10%.
It’s enough to convince me that it’s not the workload that keeps my PC slow due to obnoxious disk usage. It’s time to find a solution and after hours of online research I’ve found some tricks that work. These tips solved the problem on my PC and now my computer shows good disk usage with greatly improved performance.
So, if you are also facing the same problem on your Windows 10 computer, here are 4 things you should check on your PC.
Note: If you’re not sure what your disk usage is in Windows 10, right-click the taskbar to open it. Workflow management and here enable detail view. inside procedure tab, you can view your computer’s CPU, Memory and Disk Usage.
Disable Windows Search
The first thing you must check is the Windows Search services, which are full of bugs and cause Windows 10 on your computer to fall into the search loop. When Windows 10 enters the search loop, it will start indexing files over and over again, which causes high disk usage with minimal CPU and Memory usage. I’m not sure when Microsoft will deal with this error, but the only option you can do is to permanently disable the Windows Search Properties. To get started, open Windows’ Run box and execute the command service.msc.
Once Service window opens, search Windows Search and double click on it to open the properties page. Here, the first thing you should do is click Stop to immediately stop the service and then change Start-up type ARRIVE Handicapped. That’s it, save the settings and after a while you should notice an improvement in disk usage. But if you’re still having issues, don’t worry, there are still a few things you can try.
Disable Superfetch . service
The next thing you can try is disabling Super Fetch service from service.msc window itself. The Superfetch service stores data into RAM so that the data is immediately available to your application. Unfortunately, the service isn’t always right about the software you’re going to use and can keep your hard drive busy for a few minutes after starting and closing applications.
While disabling Superfetch service, make sure you stop it first and then change Start-up type ARRIVE Handicapped.
Turn off Windows 10 tips
Disabling the above two services worked for me, but if you still don’t see any improvement, you can try a trick I read on Reddit. Some users have suggested to open Windows 10 settings and then navigate to Notifications & Actions. turn it off Show me Windows Tips and that’s all. It will only take a minute or two before you see results.
I haven’t tried this myself, but from the comments on the Reddit site, it looks like this trick is working for users and is definitely worth a try.
Conclusion
Those are some tips you can try to get Windows Disk working. If none of that works for you, I’m afraid it could be due to some malware on your computer and you may have to disinfect Windows 10 or do a clean install from scratch in hopes that the problem has been remedied.
