100% Disk

[Jzus]

My 850 evo pro SSD has been running at 100% all day. I cannot find a solution for this issue and I have searched and tried many things. I don't know what to do about it or how to fix it please help.

[MANIDY inc]

Scan for malware

Didn't think about seeing where the usage is coming from?

I can't find the source of the problem, in task manager the system is what is using some the most disk space. I cannot end that task so I have been looking for solutions but none work for me.

Hi @Jzus.

 

If it's not malware, as @MANIDY inc has suggested, then it could be an OS related problem. Have you installed any updated recently? I keep seeing complaints like that more often since the update for Windows 10 from a few days ago.
Other than that you could try the SSD with a different SATA port and cables, to see if the issue still persists. Download a diagnostic tool and test the drive for errors as well.
And of course all of that should be done after you've backed all the important data you might have written on that drive, just as a cautionary measure.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
