When updating warframe the other day, I had no disk usage problems whatsoever. What about the BIOS you have? And it your OS in fact Windows 10 32 or 64 bit? Need those specs, surely, please. Post the model and model number of the computer. If custom built, the motherboard instead.
I saw a user have this issue once, and a driver update or firmware update fixed it. So sorry to mention it again, but make sure all drivers are up to date. The user I remember had to manually download and install the driver as Windows did not seem to have taken care of that for him. Windows 10 "supposedly" does this for you now, which I personally dislike, but I have seen cases where a manual update fixed an issue. Also, we don't yet know for sure what your OS is.
Also, if any security software is not ignoring Steam and games in real time, that can maybe affect the disk usage also. Step 1. In the same properties window, navigate to the "Details" tab and select "Device instance path" from the Property drop-down menu.

According to the feedback provided by the suffers, changing energy options from Balanced to High Performance works well on percent disk usage Windows Please do the followings:. A lot of users also recommend changing settings in Google Chrome and Skype. In the "Privacy and security" category, make sure the "Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly" is turned off.

Windows Search enables to search files on your PC fast. If you don't use it at all, you can disable it completely.
Disabling Windows Search service will stop the indexing of all files. Note that Windows Search will start again when you restart your computer. So, this change has no impact on your computer performance. Then allow its user account control. In the Command Prompt window, type "net. Check if your disk usage and the performance of your computer improve.
Change the Startup type option to "Disabled". While taking this route may not help you find out the underlying reason for the problem, if it goes away, that may be sufficient for you. Installing the latest updates can often resolve mysterious problems with your Windows 10 system. This may improve the overall performance of your system including that of your hard drive.
Your computer may be infected with malware that is causing your disk usage to spike. If you have antivirus software running in the background it should have caught the issue. Nothing is perfect though, so force your antivirus package to scan your hard drive for a potential infection. This could be a time-consuming process since your disk is already experiencing high usage but might be necessary to identify and remove malicious software. A known bug in Windows 8 and 10 can cause a search loop that can be the cause of your high disk usage.
To temporarily stop the Windows Search facility and see if it improves your disk issue, open an admin prompt and enter the command : net. This will stop Windows search from running until the next time Windows is restarted. Another Windows 10 feature that can cause problems is the Windows Superfetch service. You can disable this service temporarily in a similar fashion to Windows search with the command: net.
This command is used to stop Windows Search from running until the next time Windows is restarted. Go back to the Task Manager and check if the disk usage percentage is normal. If yes, the Windows Search should be responsible for the issue, and you'd better close it permanently.
Superfetch is a kind of Windows service that is intended to make your applications launch faster and improve your system response speed. However, the Superfetch service is prone to cause problems in high disk usage in a similar way as the Windows search does. You can try to disable the service for a short period of time to see if the disk usage can be reduced. The disk usage is showing abnormally high, which can also indicate a hard disk issue.
The check disk tool can be run via Command Prompt, and you should apply the proper command lines to address the issue. For users who are not familiar with the Windows command lines, we suggest you directly download a free partition manager on your PC, for example, EaseUS Partition Master Free. Step 3. In the Check File System window, check the "Try to fix errors if found" option. How long have you been not getting the Windows update? Is your Windows version too old to run fluently?
Though many people are used to working with an accustomed OS state, we still recommend you try to update your system if none of the above methods are valid in this case. Most of you may not know what Virtual Memory is. To put it simply, Virtual Memory shows you how much of your hard disk drive or solid state drive is being used by Windows as if it was memory in your computer.
The procedure takes a longer time than that of the former methods, so be patient and be careful. Quick tip: The size of the virtual memory is unique to each device, and it can't be generalized. However, usually, it's recommended to use a number that's one and a half times the total available memory for the "Initial size" and three times of available memory for the "Maximum size" when possible.
What's more, you've tried all the basic troubleshooting workarounds you can come up with. At this moment, a clean boot may help. A clean boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your disk usage.
Similar to reset the virtual memory, it takes a few steps to perform a clean boot from the start to finish. The solutions to lower the disk usage issue are far from the mentioned 10 ways. As a matter of fact, each computer has its special hard disk issue that may not look like a common one, all you have to do is spending time with more and more possible fixes.
