HDD constant activity ON (writing to SSD)

RickC said:

Umm... that shows the System process expanded. I suggested not expanding any of the processes so we could see all that are in use.

EDIT: OK, I've just seen your comment about losing file space. Instead of looking at the processes in use, try Nir Sofer's FolderChangesView. Download, unblock it then run it. Re-order the columns so you can see the File Size and Full Path columns easily then sort on the File Size column to see what's eating space so quickly:


Obviously it's best to restart before running just it, nothing else.

Hope this helps...

If I don't expand it, it is just this:

it is constantly writing smth:

Check this if it helps it is NTFS Volume Log


Seems like same issue:
Blocked

Nope, process called NTFS Volume Log is writing with highest rate,check the image below, is this normal?


So far, it eaten 3 gigs of my space :/

I have turned off the laptop.
I have spare brand new nvme KC3000 and I will install it along with fresh Win 10 install.

It's evening here and I am in bed.
Maybe my current nvme is failling.
Will install tomorrow new one with new OEM Win 10 and will see how it goes.
Above way finding what could cause such errors could and will take hours if succeeded.

Appreciate the help from you guys and will post after above steps.

It looks like the disappearing disk space is down to the Windows Error Reporting service (werfault.exe) writing fault logs continuously.

How long has your system been like this? What has changed?

Press the Windows key and R key together then, when the Run dialog appears, type perfmon /rel then press the ENTER/RETURN key.

When the Reliability Monitor appears, do you see errors (particularly in the line showing Windows failures)? (red circles with white crosses). If so, click on the errors to see the cause in the lower pane.

Hope this helps...

The Reliability Monitor screenshot shows a lot of failures starting on the 23rd March... hence Windows Error Reporting (werfault.exe) writing to diagnostic logs. What happened on the 23rd? A change/update to the touchpad software?

Eariler this morning I had power issues with laptop probably charger is not okay, so Windows clean install is my last option.
I need to clear this issue out with current installation of Windows, somehow.

I had power issues with laptop so I need to clear this out.
I cant remember if this issue happened after some program installation or even after some driver.All I can remember is that I noticed HDD led activity was blinking so I checked task manager and showed you what I saw.
I can do a fresh clean install but what if happens again?
Maybe some driver is causing this issue...
So I need to ins tall drivers one by one fro official website for this laptop model not with snappy driver installer which installed all the drivers at once.

I am also not sure if I will install same Windows version or most recent one downloaded from Microsoft website?

Did you do a complete disk and system check?

Open a CMD window as administrator and type:
chkdsk c: /f
It will say your disk is in use and ask if you want to schedule to next start = yes
Restart
Pay attention on the results, specially bad blocks, bad clusters, bad sectors etc

Back to Windows, open a CMD window as administrator and type:
sfc /scannow

If it finds any corrupted files, fixing or not, reboot and run again

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
and
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Yes I did, no errors found...everything is okay.
what that does it have to do with my issue?

Omg...same issue after fresh Windows install, no drivers just pure installation.
The only thing what more I can do is to replace the nvme drive with new one.
