w10 100% disc usage

[SDWdidi]

Hey, so long story short I was playing bf1 and i saw a massive FPS drop. So, I go to taskmanager realizing I have +/-100% is there any way of fixing this ? because it is pretty random (most of the times it is on service host local service) also after a while it goes down.

Get a SSD...when windows 8/10 booted up with a hard drive (in my experience), it took 2-3 mins before it finally stopped pinning my hard drive at 100%  (not exactly relevant but getting a SSD will get rid off issues with 100% utilization problems if it's not caused by the game itself)

Can you pinpoint what's causing for the utilisation to jump to 100%?

sadly, no i had a screencap but can't paste it on paint  (i think i pressed the wrong key)

Right click Start Menu.
Click Windows Command Prompt (Admin)
Type "sfc /scannow" and hit enter.

Let it finish. It will look for corruptions in Windows OS and fix them if it can and if it finds any. 

Sometimes this is the issue for me. It's not always why Windows is using the disk 100% though.

if that's not the issue what could it be then ?

If that's not it, I'd then do the same but instead of sfc /scannow, I'd do "chkdsk /r C:\" then reboot.

@Vitalius @Mr.Meerkat this is what gets me too 100%

It checks the disk for errors.

It looks like a driver and/or service from Windows maxing the disc. The disc shouldn't be at 100% with only 6.5MB/s which probably means it has issues like errors.

@Vitalius wellp i did " chkdsk /r C:\ " and i get an error

superfetch?

 

[NathanSchmitz]

Go windows R, type in services.msc then find super fetch, right click on it and his disable, restart and hopfully it will be fixed! Superfetch is known to cuase all kinds of weird disk errors

ok but what is it

 

[NathanSchmitz]

SuperFetch takes stuff out of your disk drives and puts it into RAM for "faster" user exp but its not actually very good at what it does and cuases issues, you wont notice a slower user exp with it disabled
