12 Tips for % Disk Usage on Windows 10 Task Manager ().
I switched to Linux Mint 19 I'm on 20 now and what do ya know? I need Windows 10 for one particular application, however. I then installed the Seagate utility and used it to scan the disk and confirm that I'm already on the latest firmware.
Installed all Windows updates, and I'm on the latest drivers for my hard disk. Set performance settings to highest performance. Disabled page file. Disabled superfetch. Using the above methods which I think are pretty thorough , I can find no reason whatsoever for this to be happening.
The fact that this issue does not persist on Linux tells me that it's not a hardware issue. I spend most of my time booted into Mint, so it's only an issue when I need to use that one Windows application. I have several Win versions and usually they don't cause much problem when they can't touch the hardware.
Get VB from the Oracle site, the one in the repositories is a few versions behind. If you wait a few minutes, it should settle down and the system will become far more usable, more responsive. Both Windows and Linux will become far, far more responsive. I'm saddened to think that people are still sold machines with HDDs as the primary drive. It should only be available as an option where you have to sign a waiver that you understand you'll be accepting lower performance than what the computer is capable of.
Also, why does your post title say, "It's not what you think"? You haven't posted anything to make me think otherwise. Try installing Windows 10 build on it and see if the problem remains. I have been hearing a lot of chatter on this forum about issues with build I have even heard that Microsoft is recommending that businesses hold off on updating to for production use for now.
Thanks to everyone whom thought a little bit deeper than the typical solutions that we IT professionals suggest to end users. I'm assuming that you had this problem with a clean installation of windows. Have you tried safe mode? If it doesn't happen in safe mode you can disable all services and turn them back on one by one. What did you see in Resource Monitor?
Safe mode, yes. Also I did try it with Avast installed and deactivated. Because you are not having this issue when running linux I tend to believe that the HDD itself is not the problem. If you have not updated the BIOS in the year and a half you have had this computer, which is a long time when talking about Windows 10, that would be my next step.
Your image shows the "Processes with Disk Activity" section. Look at the "Disk Activity" section. What has the most read overall? Is the version of Windows you are installing a non-pirated version? Just making sure you don't have some wonky download in use.
Run PerfMon. Had this issue on a client PC at my workplace. Took almost 2 hours to load her outlook client each morning. Takes around 2 minutes to open Outlook now.
It is a common problem and it is an issue with Windows 10 for some. Here is a Windows forum reference to the problem. It goes on for pages. EDIT And the last entry on page 6 of the saga referenced above states, "Well, I noticed this one task bouncing around at the top of the list called something like "Mini Dump Analyzer".
Wasn't taking a lot of disk according to Task Manager, but was always in the top 4 tasks in the disk column. I killed the Mini Dump Analyzer task and disk usage quickly returned to normal Ta da! I was taking down a long running Firefox browser app during the incident. I believe the Firefox browser was abending at the time and it may have been this that spawned the "Mini Dump".
Just use Windows Defender Like peterw said this is a common issue with Win We have chased our tails on it here on dozens of machines and tried countless fixes, ultimately we gave up and just installed SSDs instead of HDDs and have had no issues with them. There is absolutely something off with Win10 and certain HDDs that we have yet to figure out.
And thanks to everyone else that read the original post and made relevant suggestions! You all deserve more than one spice, but i can only give one spice per post. Turn off all the XBox gaming settings and the Cortina listening elements.
Cortina could be listening, and the XBox could be trying to publish your settings. What AHCI fix, specifically? Also perhaps an addon is causing the delay - we use digital signing and other software here that integrates into Outlook, and that slows everything down.
Easiest way to get to safe mode? Reset and let it try again. It should crash again. Reset again. On the 3rd try, Windows will decide something is wrong since it crashed twice and it will bring up the boot menu options diagnose, repair, reinstall, enter UEFI, boot from other device, etc.
Select "startup settings", it will reboot and present you with the menu from which you can choose "4. Safe Mode". All that takes longer to write out than to do on a system. It's already done. Windows, upon booting in safe mode, makes the AHCI driver available in case it's needed. It then becomes installed since it was needed.
You can simply reboot now. The driver is already there. The rate at which software gets slower has now exceeded the rate at which hardware gets faster. Sorry, my thought train was on the wrong track. Seems to really tame down the disk usage Unless you're running a clean install and it decides to nuke itself from orbit by breaking the file system lol. Thank you for this timely comment! I took seven old computers and made one good spare and one good lab workstation out of it all.
I had forgotten all about installing both Win 8. I can boot Win 8. I like having an easy way to get to Safe Mode. Now I get a boot menu for 5 seconds when I start. Rinse and repeat for the Win 8 installations. This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.
