Windows 10 Nosiy Hard Disk The Norm ?
I updated W7 in an old PC and got irritated too much with the hard disk ticking away endlessly like no other windows OS i had ever used right back to W98. I then got a new HD and did a fresh install of windows 10 and of course the same noisy hard disk activity carried on. The PC then went pop and i had to buy a new desktop with W10 obviously pre installed and of course the HD ticks away like before on W10. Done all the troubleshooting throughout and there was no issues.
So, i can only determine that this hard disk activity is a rather annoying feature of W10. Looking at the resource monitor you can see all the system files listed ticking away and obviously whatever browser is being used.
I reckon around a good 60% of the time during PC useage its ticking away and rather annoying.
Microsoft community has old posts detailing the same (not 100% useage stuff) no real answers given.
