Fixing 100% disk usage in Windows 10 with Chrome and Skype running

This problem started for a lot lot lot computers when Windows 10 installed in them. That is the 1st thing we all have to realize. 

Changing to an ssd does not solve the problem it just make it hard to see. 

Changing hard drive will not solve this problem. Not at all. 

But changing operating system does solve the problem. That is the only real and viable solution. 

So instead of giving the abbility to Ms to announce greater numbers in Windows 10 installations people should start changing to other operating systems. 

Yes I can understand that this is not an easy task for everyone. To some it is an extra cost in time and mon

A week ago Ms support told a client of mine that his hard disk was the problem. So he went to a store and change the HD. Reinstalled windows 10. And the same day the problem started again. And again Ms told him the hard disk has a problem. He went back to the store and change to a new hard disk again, andthis time the store did not charge him as they should not even if they found no problem with the hard disk they sold him the same day.  They did not even charge him for the 2ond windows 10 installation for a second time in the same day. 

Guess what.  Problem appeared again. 

Then he asked me what to do. I just installed Windows 7 and problem solved. 

I m up to 1400 more or less, reverted installations from Windows 10 to another operating system (7,8,linux,osx).

So for once I would like to extra thank Microsoft since because of this problem in Windows 10, I have managed to expand my client list to 3 times up,  and be able to finish my home repairs in 3 months.

Thank you so much!

I'm still at high disk usage but nowhere near 100% like before!

This really helped.  Took my disk usage from 100% to 10%.  Thanks for the tip.

I could not find all application packages... Please help

Hi Ilya,

You may have a conflict problem between Malwarebytes and Avast, particularly if they both have "Real Time Protection" running.

One or both of them could also be in conflict with Defender unless Defender is disabled. To check:  verify whether the Defender toggle switches are "greyed-out." If so, Defender is not likely in conflict.

I think if it was me, I'd uninstall Avast and re-check your Task Mgr. If it's ok, try that for a few days to be sure.

If that doesn't work, then un-install Malwarebytes next.

Note: You will still have Defender to rely on for protection at this point because the "grey-out" switches will return to black, indicating Defender is back to "Active."

These steps are all quick and easy.....just basic troubleshooting.

And finally - Regarding "Sugarsync." "SugarSync is a cloud service that enables active synchronization of files across computers and other devices for file backup, access, syncing, and sharing...."   "The entire folder is continuously backed up in real time providing you access to your folders anytime, anywhere..."

I realize that you're probably paying for the Sugarsync service so uninstalling it isn't desirable. Try to find out if you can temporarily turn off it's Real-Time activity because once again, this is likely either the problem or part of it.
