Process explorer disk usage9/22/2023 It could be internet issues or unknown malware, or – it happens too often – an irrelevant program is performing complex background tasks. You struggle to pinpoint the exact problem when Windows gets fidgety. You don’t want to throw away your computer although if it is slow, doesn’t meet the latest operating system (OS) requirements or is making strange noises, it may be time to say goodbye. Your system probably needs some TLC, but what should you do? Then, out of nowhere, your computer slows down. The bottom of the directory pointed to a midpoint in the same directory so the search just never found the end of the directory tree.Months go by, and Windows works. The database got corrupted and was saved in a corrupted state and just keep indexing a directory in a endless loop. for example I have done this to find problems in the windows search indexer, the solution was to delete the search indexer database and I did not have the problem on my machine ever again. Then you can start and stop the actual service to confirm the problem and look for a solution. You can also watch the disk activity in resource monitor and selectively kill processes until you identify the process that is doing all of the disk IO. When you identify the actual process it is much easier to identify the solution. There are some other error conditions that could also cause the system to get stuck at 100% disk usage but I listed the main causes that I have seen. People often just do not update the BIOS and external SATA drivers so they tend to have more bugs. The often faster secondary controller is updated by your motherboard vendor website in conjunction with a BIOS update. the primary controller is the one that is supported directly by the CPU and is updated by Microsoft update. but be sure to update the BIOS and the sata drivers (for the cpu chipset supported sata and and external sata chipset driver) you might also find that moving your sata port of your drive to the primary sata controller can prevent the problem. You might also find that a firmware update on certain solid stat drives can help fix this problem. exe to see which one might be causing a problem. Process explorer works well for certain causes of this problem. You might find that rammap, file details tab is easier to use: You can also use process explorer to do this: Then select the disk tab and take a look at what is causing disk activity, look at the file name and google the. If you do you would start task manager, select the performance tab, go to the bottom of the page and open resource monitor This will make isolation of the problem much more simple.Īfter clearing the working set, reboot the machine and see if you still have problems. boot windows and run rammap and clear the working set Here are the solutions I have tried so far:ġ) Disabling "Windows Search", "BITS", and "Superfetch"Ģ) Disabling Adobe Flash Player plugin in Chromeģ) Disabling MSI mode (according to Windows Support )ĥ) Turning off "Show me tips about windows"Īny help would be appreciated, I've been scouring the internet from Microsoft Support to Reddit to try and find a solution that works but no luck so far. For example, if System is using 100% and I boot up Google Chrome, Chrome will start to use whatever it needs (say ~2%) and System will defer to 98%. What seems to be happening is that "System" is using the latent space after all other processes have "had their fill". Although things seem to run fine, I don't think it's a good idea to have my HDD running at 100% all the time. Unlike others who have posted in the past about similar issues, my computer seems to run normally most of the time - aside from the occasional stutter - despite being at 100% disk usage. I've looked into a number of different solution (listed below) but to no avail. Recently I noticed a slowdown in online video playback (Youtube videos, Twitch VOD's, etc.) and looked at my task manager to see if there was a bottleneck and found that my Disk usage was at 100%, due mostly to the "System" process.
