Why does my Windows 10 laptop with an Intel Core i7-5500U, 8GB RAM and a 1 TB HDD have high CPU, memory and 100% disk usage, and how can I fix it?
Try uninstalling Avast first; in the thread, disk usage dropped from 100% to about 15% after Avast was removed [#16590985][#16590997] Kolobos also noted that the slowdown may have been caused by Windows updates running or getting stuck, so if it happens right after boot you should wait a bit and check whether the updates finish normally [#16590331][#16590502] He asked for FRST logs and proposed cleanup of startup/task entries such as WinZip System Utilities Suite, plus other logged items like BingSvc, True Key and browser homepage/search hijackers [#16590502] The disk SMART was also reported as having many shocks/overloads, so checking drive health with CrystalDiskInfo was suggested [#16590347][#16590459] If Avast turns out to be the cause, reinstall it to test again; if the slowdown returns, switch to AVG instead [#16591073]
