Apologies for the unclear image, but it seems my storage is fully occupied. Checking the picture doesn’t help. If you need assistance, let me know. How can I help?

Windows superfetch improvement and defender virus scanner. Upon completion, the PC should return to standard operation. Or you may disable superfetch:

Superfetch was added in Windows Vista to load portions of applications ahead of time according to your habits, speeding up their launch. Check the Task Manager—Windows also offers a screenshot option there. Disk usage is logical. The first entry lists "Delivery Optimization," which uses most of your disk input. This setting appears under: Start > Settings (gear icon) > Update & Security > Delivery Optimization. It explains its purpose and effects. Essentially, poor network connections for updates cause systems to perform intensive downloads, similar to a torrent. If the update isn’t found online, it may automatically download it. You can adjust settings in the panel, set speed limits in Advanced Options, or disable it at your discretion.

Next, the second entry shows "Anti-malware Service Executable," part of Windows Defender—the built-in security tool scanning for threats. Core Windows functions often cause unusual disk activity or memory leaks, though pinpointing the exact culprit usually requires deeper diagnostics. Since neither Delivery Optimization nor the anti-malware scan directly reveals the source of heavy disk usage, it likely contributes to the spike. In this scenario, Superfetch may be attempting to preload your next program while your disk remains under strain.

Ah thanks, my error. I was trying to translate that list to english, and only got the superfetch return, not the Torrent like Delivery Optimization option (which is the task I meant to turn off if not helping the PC).

It seems some apps are consuming more resources even when the disk is full, while others behave differently. This inconsistency isn't typical.
