Why so much DISK USAGE! HELP

[Gaming-for-life]

Hello Guys I wanted to know why is there so much disk usage from system and compressed memory and SvChost it's maxing out my HDD 

 

Here are the Specifications for my HDD

and a side note: I am running Windows 10, this happens during startups for about 2-5 minutes maybe more, and for one thing it's really noisy

How about the performance tab with your HDD.

 

What should be happening is the overall reads are small (25 MB/s isn't a big deal), but the access times are going to be awful. This is pretty normal when your startup processes get out of control.

This happens every single time 

 

is this a sign that I should get an SSD for my build sooner or later ?

 

or maybe my hardware is too much for one DISK to handle??

svchost is a legitimate Windows service (though it can be infected with malware), but it's long been problematic, at least on Windows 7.  I heard that it was supposedly fixed (for the most part, at least) on 8/8.1/10, but maybe that wasn't entirely the case.  Anyways: it's a host program for a lot of miscellaneous Windows processes, including Windows Update (which is run by the netsvcs process that's hosted in svchost), and it's a fairly widely-known problem that it can sometimes eat up huge amounts of system resources.  I've had times where it used up 80% of my CPU and a quarter or more of my RAM at one time--it really can be an awful blight on your system, which is inexcusable behavior for a core part of the OS.  I was never able to diagnose specifically what was going on beyond "it's netsvcs" (which seems to be the usual culprit for a lot of people), much less how to fix it, but you might have better luck.  See if you can find out what specific process within svchost is consuming so much of your disk usage.  You can use the Resource Monitor to see what the specific process is--the Resource Monitor is a separate program from the task manager, tough in 7 and 8 you can access it through the "Performance" tab of the task manger, and it provides much more detailed information about resource usage.  Memory, CPU, networking, disk usage, and I think a few others, all broken down by process.  If you can find what process within svchost is the problem, that should make it a lot easier to ding the fix.

 

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I don't think this problem would necessarily be fixed by upgrading to an SSD.  If it's a Windows process constantly reading and writing to your disk, it might just eat up the increased read/write speeds of an SSD and continue tanking your performance.  It also might finish whatever it's doing a lot faster, thereby slowing down your system for less time.  I can't say for certain which of those might happen if you switch over to an SSD, but the problem might well be solvable without shelling out the extra cash.

what anti-malware software would you recommend I have Norton security premium but I do not if that's any good

If you think it's possibly malware just download Malwarebytes and run a full scan with it.

Norton is pretty good. But I'd also recommend Malwarebytes--but just use Malwarebytes as an on-demand scanner. Don't buy the premium version and get all the firewall/real-time protection stuff, since Norton already does that for you and the two might conflict. Just use the free version and manually start a scan every couple of weeks. But I doubt the issue is malware--like I said, svchost is known to suck up all your available system resources at times. Find out what process within it is the guilty party, and then do some googling and see if someone has a solution for dealing with that process.
