Windows Explorer 100% Disk usage, can't shutdown properly
Hello all. I've come to you in desperation. I have been troubleshooting these issues by myself for the last two weeks and have had no success. You all are my last hope.
My PC is essentially unusable atm (making this from a laptop), as every few minutes or so Windows Explorer crashes and uses 99-100% of my disk. Restarting it fixes it sometimes, only for a few minutes. I have tried everything I can find. Turned off quick access, made sure graphic drivers were up to date, Windows is up to date. I've done sfc /scannow and dism checks multiple times, no errors. I can't do a system restore due to errors. Can't reset PC due to shut down issues. Shutting down or restarting results in just a log off, unless I hard shut down. I'm sure there are other things I've tried over the past few weeks that I've forgotten.
Edit:
Turned off Fast Start-up, forgot to mention. Still having trouble shutting down.
Please help. I am at a loss. I can't even reset the thing due to these issues, which was my last resort.
Let me know if you need more information, logs, etc.
