Windows 10 issue: disk utilization reaches 100%.
Windows 10 issue: disk utilization reaches 100%.
Hello, I have a Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G-504G. Lately I am experiencing that windows is pushing my HDD to 100% and there is nothing that is using HDD that much. This is a problem because I can not use my Laptop properly. I have tried all suggestions that you can find on Google but nothing helps. If somebody had same problem can you help me fix this? I tested the Disk and apparently he is 100% OK. Sorry for my bad English it is not my native language. Br, Dragan
Hello, I’m joining this discussion about a sad Windows 10 experience. It seemed like the system needed an SSD, which caused similar problems on my old laptop and others I’ve seen. A fresh installation could help, but over time it tends to return to full capacity. Since SSDs are now quite affordable, upgrading would be a quick solution.
You might want to verify for updates, drivers, or file indexing. Run a virus scan and review the resource monitor to identify activity on the hard drive.
Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know that after upgrading my laptop to an SSD, all my issues are resolved now. It feels like I have a brand new machine. Everything runs smoothly and the storage usage stays below 10% most of the time. Thanks @19_blackie_73 for the tip. I went with WD Blue M.2 SSD 500GB.
