i recently noticed that my pretty new computer (16gb ram, i7 core 3.4ghz processor, 64bit windows 10) has been slowing down lately. pretty soon i noticed that basically at all times when i go to task manager it says my disk usage is 100% when when im idling at the desktop. when i look in processes in task manager it says "system" is the culprit that is driving my disk usage way up to 100% even while im simply idling at a website. i have a samsung evo 500gb SSD, it def should not be at 100% usage. ive tried a few things so far to try to fix it but none have worked. also, ever since i got the SSD i have paid for and been using bitdefender 2016 brand antivirus in the background and regularly running scans etc which have always shown no indication of malware of viruses. heres the things ive tried:
1. went into services.msc and disabled superfetch. also disabled "background intelligence transfer service"
2. disabled and uninstalled adobe flash
3. went into settings and turned off all the windows "predictive" options as well as windows defender etc
4. went into registry and disabled prefetch
5. disabled windows defender etc (i use current up-to-date 2016 bitdefender antivirus)
6. checked the drivers/firmware for my motherboard and samsung evo 500gb SSD harddrive (the only harddrive in my pc) which are both up to date
7. went into settings and disabled all the frivilous/unnecessary windows notifications and predictive technologies
8. did an error check on my SSD by right clicking the ssd drive and going to properties and selecting error check. results showed no problems
9. turned off the auto "optimization and defrag" that was being done on my SSD weekly
10. deleted adobe flash player through the control panel
11. disabled BITS (background intelligent transfer service)
does anyone know how to fix this problem of disk usage being at 100% on windows 10 (with an ssd) that results in slow/laggy performance? i feel like ive tried everything but nothing fixes it. here are a few screenshots so you can see. any and all help and suggestions are very much appreciated.
here are a few pics showing my task manager. these were taken with nothing more than opera browser open with a few tabs on a few different reputable websites. no intensive games or anything running in the background. nevertheless, still 100% of disk power is being used
task manager showing "system" taking up all of my SSD harddrive speed
another pic of my task manager performance. note the 3% cpu usage and the 26% memory usage, in contrast to the 100% disk usage
