[SOLVED] 100% DISK USAGE Windows 10 FIX [Easy Tutorial] 

The part that sucks so much about doing these is trying to follow along with your computer already at 100% disk usage😅

Thank you so much!! I actually bought a new laptop about a year ago because I thought my old one was done for. It has been running disk 100% for a couple years now at least. Like others said, I thought it was a virus as well, so relieved. After following all your steps, the disk issue is resolved!! I did have to restart several times so anyone who isn't seeing instant results, be patient and keep checking the windows updates. I had to do them 3 times and restart each time. Thank you again for this SIMPLE, EXPLANATORY video without all the extra talking that can get in the way sometimes. I've subscribed and looking forward to more.

My Dell Laptop has been running slow with 100% disk usage for a long time. I followed you instructions and Presto, Disk usage dropped to about 12% and my laptop is running fast again. Thank you for the excellent video.

Thank you for your calm, step by step instructions. Following the steps solved my problem.

Who 100% disk usagein2024

Finally! A fix that actually works! Thanks, mate.

Dude you are a damn genius. My SSD was going 100% for like a few days and the first tip itself reduced it to 6% average.

The optimize starting at 3:00 did it for me. Thanks a lot!

Worked for me. Thank you so much brother

Thank you! disabling Connected Devices Platform Services fixed it entirely. Went from jumping between 50%-100% to maintaining an absolute 0 on idle. Liked and subbed!

Microsoft renaming superfetch to sysmain is sketchy af

My sincerest gratitude goes towards you, good sir.

You fixed my issue - I went through all the steps so can't say which one did the trick. The computer is running like new again! Many thanks. My drive had been running constantly for years! Finally it's gone silent. The defrag took ages, but probably because of several years of the drive constantly reading and writing files unnecessarily.

We need more people like you! Easy to understand and works amazingly! 💪

i like your way in describing the issues and how to fix it, instructions and your accent are amazing, go ahead man and give us more videos like this, thanks from egypt

I followed your every step, my laptop works fine now. Thank you ❤️

3 yrs later still worked like a charm 👍

MAN!!! second setting on the video and went from 100 to 15% usage.. Thank you alot

I have spent over 2 years trying to fix this issue. I really don't have a lot of app's on my PC. Firstly, I want to thank you for giving GUI based commands, as I am not comfortable with the DOS commands and prompts. I had done the defrag and disabled the Optimization prior. While the fixes did reduce the 100% HDD at Startup from 10 minutes to 6 minutes. I still have this problem...Thank you for helping!

Your video has helped me resolve this issue quickly, thank you!

This is a great video to show how to get rid of the stupid 100% disk utilization problem from Windows 10, which should not have happened, no thanks for Microsoft. My Dell laptop developed this problem out of the blue and it has been crashing my Chrome because it would not respond when disk utilization goes to 100% as soon as Chrome started. However, killing Chrome does not bring it down, so it is not a Chrome problem, it is elsewhere. Disabling both Sysmain and Connected Device Platform does the trick for me, it instantly dropped the disk utilization to less than 50%! I did not do anything else, as I rather not doing too much disabling to hamper the Windows operations. In addition, I would advise against disabling the disk optimization in file explorer, you want it running to do regular disk management. As for disabling the app you don't need at startup, that makes sense, if you don't use them. I am still leery about disabling Sysmain, I think it does have an impact in Windows operations because it is no longer optimize for your apps but it is an acceptable tradeoff, as it is the likely the main culprit.

Bro, I can't thank you enough! After first step, it worked as new. Not 100% anymore... Every fix on the internet didn't do shit, so thank you do much!

Omg been up all night trying so many things was just about factory restart until I come across this I was stuck on 100% constantly now is back to normal thanks to you 👍👍

Thank you! I just got a computer for my brother and was having this issue. Now it’s working great! 😊

Thank you! My computer kept crashing from disc over-utilization, this has helped so much!

This tutorial is effective in this year 2022, it really helps me alot to get rid of my laptop disk, it drops into 0% ngl… Thank you so much i really appreciate your hard work to help us🎉

You're the best , as soon as I disabled the 2nd service , disk went to 0 immediately !🤩♥️ Thanks now I can give the pc to my brother for work 👍🤗

I just wanted to say that I have gone through all of these steps to no avail. These steps are still important if you are having troubles, so I do not mean to discourage you from trying it. However, what has finally fixed my computer is uninstalling Norton 360. I must have been conflicting with Windows Defender. IMMEDiately after I unistalled it, disk use dropped dramatically. I hope this helps someone....

Thank you, your voice is so calming. Trying to speed up this old laptop so we have an extra to use at the office. Saving this video for future uses.

I subscribed to you because this worked! Just from the first step and my Disk went down to 0%! It also decreased the amount of CPU usage, it used to be 55% with no apps opened, now its 2-5% percent, you are the best, thank you sm

Thanks man 3:35 fixed it for me. This is like the 4th or 5th video Ive tried. Glad I finally found something that works. Great video!

Your instruction solved my laptop issue totally! Well done !!

Thanks for this video. I will try these tommorow, I have two seperate laptops, one older one which I use for almost anything and one specifically for gaming, both have developed this problem in the last month despite having completely different makeups. Could it be a windows update that has caused this? Also, should i do ALL steps on this video before restarting? Or do one at a time and then restart to see if it has fixed the issue? Thanks again!

hey thanks dude it work so far, i hope nothing bad gonna happen after i disabled those service :D

Million thanks man! It fixed my problem and overall slowness. You are great man sir!

Hey, thanks for the help. The first step worked for me. My disk went immediately down below 10% from 100%. I have a question, will I benefit from doing the other steps? Disk wise or any other benefits?

FINALLY!! something that works! I thank you for making this video. As soon as I disabled "connected devices platform" the disk % dropped substantially.

Ur a laptop user Can u answer few of my question? Please Is it OK to laptop to make more noise while plugged in? ( System cooling policy is active on plugged in and passive on battery) , OK? Is 100 % CPU usage OK, sometimes? Is it OK if fan makes noise sometimes? I check that my battery temp is sometimes 33°C , is it a normal temprature?
