(It still jumps up occasionally, like when I have at least 80% RAM usage.) The System process used to cause 100% disk usage, which lead me to the solution. Now the computer isn't constantly bogging down from HDD usage. I read that I could disable SuperFetch, which helped a lot. Running a 'Random 4k' test with Crystal Disk Mark says I have 0.63 read MB/s and 0.85 write MB/s. I also checked Disk Defragmenter and it is good. I ran SFC /scannow which found some corrupt files and fixed them.

I ran a full antivirus scan with Win Defender, which found nothing. In addition, CrystalDiskInfo says health is Good and so does Hard Disk Sentinel. I've also run the SMART test which passed. I've checked it with SeaTools using their 'Short generic' and 'long generic' test, which it passed.

I've tried to do some troubleshooting with my hard drive. It caused a black screen for 30 seconds at bootup before the log-in screen loaded, so I removed it.

I decided to install BItdefender to see if Win Defender had a problem, but Bitdefender caused my HDD to slow down even more. Windows Security uses a lot of HDD at times.

I noticed that Epic Games launcher will try to auto update my games in the background, which slows down the PC. I have Epic Games Launcher and Steam installed on my PC. When I opened Calculator just now, Windows Defender showed up and took 60% disk usage and I heard the HDD, but those other times the program itself takes up the disk usage. Alarms & Clock app jumped it to 70%, and Voice Recorder jumped it to 85%. I opened Internet Explorer and it jumped to 100% before falling, though later it opened faster and didn't jump the HDD usage. I experimented, and the HDD jumps to 100% frequently such as when I first open programs. When RAM is filling up, rising to 80% I think, the System process starts using 100% disk usage and everything becomes very slow if not unusuable. Still, as the delayed programs open, there is slowdown. I used a program called Autorun Organizer to disable and delay some startup programs, which helped speed up boot a lot. Finally, everything settles down after at least 10 minutes I recall. It takes forever to log in, and the log-in screen is very slow. Then the HDD momentarily jumps to 100% and all programs slow down.Īt bootup, everything is really sluggish. Other times, the HDD usage is 0% and every open program is smooth until I open a new program. Programs take ages to open like my web browser, Firefox, as the hard drive thrashes before it finally opens and the HDD settles down.

When it jumps to 100%, all programs become unresponsive and slow. It happens when I open a program, at bootup, and randomly as I use the computer. I noticed that often times the HDD will be at 100% usage, sometimes even with low transfer speed (e.g. I have a 1TB Seagate ST1000DM hard drive. My Windows Version is 1909 Build 18363.836 I remember it being like this for a while, even back when I had Windows 7.
