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

    Hi , Thanks for the reply. 

    I am noticing this lagging issue since day1 of the laptop bought. I tried couple of times resetting the PC from the options (option1 with remove everything as sub option ) suggested before posting on forum. when it reset, first thing i do is open task manager and observe disk and it always  reached 100 %  as soon as it was on for the first time . For a change i tried loading previous version of OS today and opened task manager immediately when it turned on after reset, Screen shot is below :( :(

    Hi,

    We're following your post and we noticed that it has been idle for more than 48 hrs. We'd like to know if the issue still persist and an assistance is still needed. If the issue persists, we'd recommend consulting the device manufacturer about the issue so they can run diagnostics and to get further assistance as we suspect that this is a possible hardware failure.

    We look forward to your response.

    My issue not resolved. 

    If this is device related,  we would not have seen these many posts about the same issue. Just google disk 100 % full and see how many pages it give and how many people are struggling on the same bug.

    For me this is Windows 10 issue.

    If you can't help let it be like this and people know that it is an unsolvable crazy bug and they wont waste time in asking this again in this forum.

    We've recommended that you consult the device manufacturer for isolation purposes as a damaged hard drive may also cause the issue. Since the issue persists after resetting your PC, we'd like to look at the hardware aspect of the matter. Should you wish to continue, we'd recommend an performing an  in-place upgrade. An in-place upgrade is the installation of Windows 10 over an existing Windows 10, keeping your files, applications, and settings while updating your PC. By performing an in-place upgrade, you will clean up the system which may help resolve some troubles with the system.

    For any results, kindly update this thread.
