Windows 8 hangs due to disk 100%

I still find it unusual however..how can activity be anything between the two states of active or inactive? Is it a function of time, perhaps, activity in the last second?

I suspect it's this - the real reason being if the disk is at 100% activity, other processes trying to access the disk will be queued up.

As for people misunderstanding it, I suspect they're either not reading that it says active time, or don't understand what that means. It might help if task manager included a help file.

Haha....hahahaha.

Because people RTFM, right?

I actually don't see where it says 'Active' anywhere but rather it says 'Utilization' when I hover over it. Further, it has MB/s grid underneath, just like the Network column...and I'm sure the 'Network Utilization' percentage is measured out of throughput rather than 'activity'.

I'm not sure if they were trying to be *intentionally* confusing, but Microsoft has certainly succeeded at being confusing.
