Hi ..

Disk showing 100% and slowing down my system everytime . I have tried some of the fixes posted in google but nothing worked so far. 

tried almost everything suggested in - https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/100-disk-usage-windows-10-fixed/

Task manager indicate some times single windows update , some times single system windows process takes almost 98% of disk . 

I killed all background processes once and it seems resolved for a while but its resurfacing. 

Please help me to resolve this .

Thanks 

Ganesh

    I've been having the problem on my Samsung laptop with an SSD, no HDD.  When I bring up a window on a directory with Explorer, the CPU occupancy goes to 100% according to task manager.  Explorer is using 49%, while several others are making up most of the difference.  One of the heavyweights was Samsung Link at about 35%.  I don't use it, so I disabled it.  Now, when I bring up an Explorer window, Explorer spikes up to about 25% of the CPU and quickly falls to practically nothing (clearly, so other processes are coming active as well since the total CPU runs up to 47% for a second.)

    If things stay stable like this, it appears my problem is solved (so long as I don't used Samsung Link), but I suspect that the real problem is that Explorer can have similar bad interactions with other programs that we don't know about yet. 

    Microsoft should take a good look at what's happening in these situations.
