Disk usage spikes to 100% and Low frame rate
I have a new Windows 10 64-bit. I had MAJOR frame rate issues while playing The Witcher 3 video game (despite my machine surpassing the recommended specs) and peeked into the Resource Monitor and discovered enormous spikes in Disk Usage (at times 100%). My internet searches indicated that these Disk spikes and the fps issues of The Witcher 3 might be due to a memory bottleneck, I safely disabled some of the burdensome processes and services but the Disk spikes continue and the performance for The Witcher 3 is improved but far from optimal.
What is something I can do to eliminate these Disk Usage spikes and improve the gaming performance of my computer?
P.S. I should first confess that I know relatively little about the intricacies of computers so feel free to dumb down your answers as much as you can. Thanks
Specs:
i7 6700K @ 4.00 GHz
