Only thing that worked for me was updating the firmware for my SSD. Nothing on this forum helped.
I had to boot in safe mode with Network. Download WD dashboard and update my WD Blue SSD 510.

Hello, recently windows offered free update from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Since completing this update, I have been having the issue whereby task manager shows that 100% disk being used on a constant basis. Laptop runs at a snail's pace now and it's only 3 months old. Could you please assist?

Just wanted to add that whenever some major windows updates are done on the computer, the regedit value is reset to 1. So in such cases we need to set it back to 0 as mentioned in your instructions.
