FWIW....
My lappy ( Surface Pro 3 -SSD- i5) goes a bit nuts with the I/O after startup. Always has, any Win version. 99.9999% of the time it's this process. MS loves to keep you synced. It will go on and on for 20-30 minutes and settle down. Next time, check Task Manager (if you can) and see what this is doing.
Hi, the first thing I note is your low transfer rate- 10MB/s or so.
There have been several reports of 100% usage with low transfer rate, and if you search the internet you'll find references to this with other version of Windows too- not just Win 10.
It's really hard to resolve.
Disk usage 100% please help Solved - Windows 10 Forums
100% Disk Usage, tried some methods found online. - Windows 10 Forums
Troubleshooting Hardware Devices says Restart your PC... forever - Windows 10 Forums
If you could post a screenshot of your task manager as asked above, that would be useful.
I was having the same problem and Task Manager was no help in trying to see what was causing the problem. Even though it was showing 100% disk usage non of the process were showing high usage. I solved the high disk usage on my computer by changing the Power Plan to High Performance.
That's one thing people have tried (in the threads I quoted and on the internet). But I feel the real underlying problem has not been identified.
Hi,
Just a slow way to large hdd for windows to be installed on.
Hi,
For a main installation drive it is
No telling how much data is on it I missed that part but win-10 in general only takes up about 25gb's
I personally wouldn't use such a large drive
2tb would be best fop only data and a 7200rpm one at that
Not sure what the rpm is on the one you have traditionally most are only 5400rpm.
