100% disk usage on new laptop
Hi,
So I bought this laptop the other day strictly for on the road work in excel/word and the like browsing and email. Nothing super intensive. It's not a great a great laptop by any stretch but it will meet my needs an it was cheap, only paid $115 for it brand new.
AMD Quad core E2 7110
4 GB Ram
500 GB HD
Windows 10
I am a gamer, so my main rig at home is a gaming rig. So my first impression of this thing was that it was sluggish, but I kind of wrote it off at being used to the speed of my desktop.
However today I finally decided it was way slower than it should be, so I dug in and found my disk usage stays at 100%, constantly and never drops. While searching I have found this seems to be an issue, but I cannot seem to find a resolution.
Here is what I have tired:
Disabled superfetch and Windows search at startup
Set my page file to custom (min ram max x2 ram)
Disabled windows tips
Unistalled/disabled ALL Antivirus, nothing is running on it atm
Uninstalled chrome and Skype (I read they can conflict)
I read a Microsoft article about a HDD driver issue, I'm not using that driver. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3083595
Disabled Flash.
One drive is currently disabled.
All drivers etc up to date
If anyone has any other ideas I would love to hear them! THANKS!
