Windows 10 Disk usage 100%!

[Abhishek sharma]

My system is always at a high disk usage. Sometimes at 99 or 100%.I don't know how to solve this.I have looked at some solutions on the internet but nothing worked for me.

Do you have hard drive or ssd?

you're running out of memory so the system is swapping to your page file, that's why you see your disk always being busy

 

put XP on that poor little machine or buy more RAM and an SSD

have you considered it's just doing updates and background maintenance tasks?
let it sit for a while, also buy more RAM and an SSD

it's a thing Windows loves to do - like tweaking settings, indexing files, finalizing update installation to make the system smoother and faster for the user, the downside is it does that at a performance hit while it's doing all that stuff
