Hey, is it normal that apps are taking me 2 - 7 minutes to open? And is it normal that almost everytime i do something almost my whole pc just wont response between 2 - 5 minutes? Oh and my internet is totally ok, but its REALLY slow on my pc but for my family its fast
I changed to Ubuntu a year ago. It has a small learning curve(terminal and such), but I have never regretted it since. I do have dual boot so if something goes wrong I still have Windows.
forced updates were bad enough, but system crippling updates are just rude. they need to stop shoving trash down our throat or they should be the one paying for the problems they cause
This is what tech support should always be. No flashy, "smart" suggestions, MS bashing, or other non-sense. Just a sober description of possibilities. Very well done, sir.

@@90s-Trance_86 i am using thinkpad e530 , earlier when i was using windows 7, there was no such issue,but after installing window 10 twice this issue becomes part of my life. But i believe there is no issue with my hard disk. All i need to do is to wait for 10 mins after restarting laptop to become disk usage normal. Tried all possible solutions but this is not resolved
even though this video is a year old. Man, I genuinely feel like just hugging you and just fricking thank you a million times. It's been like what 5 years and the disk issue was getting way out of hand, especially kept being an obstacle for everything I do and I can't afford to buy a new laptop LOL.

Many people keep on joking and saying "jUsT uPgRaDe tO ssD" while this guy right here gave a wide variety of solutions and useful tips, why y'all gotta do this man like this when he just wants to help. This is a nice video btw, it helped me solve my 100 disk usage problem. More power to the channel
Problem with that is mine is ssd drive and is still having the same problem they are not immune to this issue if it's not the drive then it switches to processor
An absolutely professional and comprehensive video. Two of the methods combined solved the problem for me, namely disabling the search function and disabling the superfetch function. Brought my disk usage down from 100% to below 10% when idle.
For all those who have this problem: once it freezes, don't do anything. Just let it become responsive then try a solution. Don't try to force shut down or it will take a long time to boot or possibly corrupt your windows. Happened to me, I don't want it to happen to anyone elses. Hope that helps :)
I agree, my windows got corrupted as I clicked on Power button multiple times. Also, start the task manager and try to end the task if possible. I immediately start the task manager as windows started and if some application becomes unresponsive, I click on 'End Process' for that application. Once it becomes responsive, then we can fix the issues.
Hi EasyTech, just wanted to say thank you. My Dell laptop was consistently between 99-100% disk utilization. It is now typically less than 20% and most of the time in single digits. I hated how slow my laptop was, now i love it. thank you, this was very helpful. liked and subscribed.
They dont care. How many user did refuse win 10 and prefert to stay with win 7? Do they care? Nope they force update windows (which i need to manually stop) and as expected ppl who dont know that their rig is incopatible suddenly cant boot their machine. Ppl protest yet they keep on aggressive pop up to update for to target ppl who manage to avoid the ambush update being unpaid win 10 guinea pig.
Finally I was able to fix it. It was the freakin disk defragmentation. Thank you so much for putting this comprehensive video. I also love that African accent 👍
thanks a lot man. After seeing your comment I did the defragmentation and finally it solved my long existing 100% disk usage issue. I had tried nearly all the ways suggested by various videos and articles but in the end defrag did the job. Again thanks a lot.
I love you, thank you, I just clicked 'stop' on the windows search service and my Disk went from 100% usage when literally no program is open except chrome and my anti-virus to 0% then it just floated up and down under 10% usage, after that I disabled it for startup. You're a miracle worker, thank you
i found this out myself AGES ago idk i opened the services dropdown on task manager and randomly clicked anything..... then it sped up so i kept doing it this was not really useful (for me ) but its good because i already did this and it worked
Thank you! I started from the beginning and not until I disabled the Disk Defrag did it work. Went from 100% down to now 20% on average. Huge difference and random freezes have stopped occurring now.
Yes this is true. Atleast on my laptop. To disable it, Go to Task manager, click on services, then open services Scroll down and look for Window Update, then right click, Select propertys, the in the drop down where it says Manual, click on it and select disable. Then apply and OK
Bought a brand new gaming desktop and ran into this issue a few months in. It appears to have been super fetch causing my problem. Really helpful and clear directions. Thank you!!
NOTE: Superfetch was changed to "service host: sysmain" which you can disable from the services.msc window just like you did during the windows search method in the video
Oh man, completely subscribed. On the virtual memory my allocated was lower than recommended and after the formula changed the allocated from 4800 to 49.152 (somewhere around there for 32GB RAM and boom, from 100% to 2%. Thing runs SMOOTH, thanks!
I was skeptical, but the first solution fixed it straight away. I'd been having trouble with it for about a year but now it feels like a new laptop. Thank you!
Thank you sir, The stopping superfetch seemed to do the trick. I've ran into this problem so many times and it's usually been the defrag and disabling it always fixed it. Now it was something completely different. Was really surprised to see how many things effect this particular problem.
I'm surprised at how many useful tips you have included in this video. This will be useful for my Windows tablet however my desktop is Win7 and for such an old OS I have non of these issues. I'm surprised at how many bugs there are in windows latest OS. God help us all ! BTW superfetch is now called SysMain.
Matlockization OMG you guys busy slowing down ur PC with each windows buggy and usless updates .. my lappy is still as snappy as when it first booted since I have blocked updates ( using shut up windows 10 software ) ..No forced updates , its been 3months and it is buttery smooth ..
So lame no one has all the answers, step 1 stop windows 10 update services (there are 2). Step 2 stop all services except google services step 3 lower power of cpu to 75 % on power options. step 4 stop cortana services. step 5 stop atart up apps and services. and google 100%disk usage if iv missed any thing because there are multiple steps in the list within the list . thanks
I have no idea what I was doing but I followed these instructions and the issue is resolved, and that is officially all I care about. I'm noticing the slight slow-down you talked about after disabling superfetch, but since this is mostly a word-processing laptop, it's barely an issue. Thank you so much!
sysmain is an app preloader,its helps load the app faster so you can use it quicker but disabling it will make it more longer to load and ready for use but it would boost the performance of using the app and stop from frequent slight freeze and less lag. Sysmain marks app you frequently use though so it will preload marked apps,so basically its safe to disable it
Thank you so much. It’s sometimes difficult to find troubleshooting videos that can talk you through things as comprehensively and as succinctly as you do. This video fixed my problem. In my task manager I noticed that the system kept spiking up in usage randomly and my disk usage was consistently at 100% without running anything but the task manager itself. I believe the first item on this video’s list helped with some things, but item #5 is where I saw most of the improvement. Before, sometimes it would take somewhere around 15 seconds to open just my Windows Start menu. Blegh. Thank you again. Very helpful.
Disable window search & reset virtual memory worked for me. At the beginning tho, it’s always 100% or closer but it calms down within 5 min or so. Thank you so much!
Virtual memory was the key. I reduced below the minimum to 900 and did the math for the ram on the second. Disk usage and memory really fixed. I was able to open and work around programs browsers and my pc worked like new. Great video learned a lot. 👍😁
Man, you just saved me from having to buy a new laptop. I can’t thank you enough. Do you have a paypal or anything like that? I want to pay you instead.

trying this after two years of suffering from 100 disk,, i've watched so many videos and googled it so many times and none of them worked for me. there were two unique tricks i seen in this video, so if it it works, i thank you so much
@@AE-or7xd haha, most of the ones i tried didn't work for me, but literally just google 'how to solve 100 percent disk usage',, theres so many websites about it along with rare solutions. sadly, none of these have worked for me, the most it's done is went to 0-10 and then spiked up to 100 again
SuperFetch goes by Sysmain btw, you can look it up but disabling it helped a lot. I might be dumb or something but hope this helped and thx for the vid Mr.EzTechs.
also one of reason is if your Hard Disk is near on failing. it is better to back up all the data need and replace the HDD or better move on to SSD rather tweaking many thing
This really helped me fix two of my computers that have been having this problem, and I have had someone look at one of my computers, and he somewhat fixed it, but it is already back to 100% disk usage but fixed now, thanks to you.
Yes stable but if you want true stable os xp still i entered a semiconductor company and i ask them why xp they said among all of microsoft did xp is the perfect os they did

Very good informative video I must say to the negative commenters this video has helped lots of people and some times it failed to help I personally have used all the fixes during my work day and also had to replace the hard drive with a new ssd which also fixed many computers. He made the video in his own time to just help people please remember this before posting negative comments
[Advance System Settings -> Performance Options -> Visual effects -> Adjust for best performance] worked perfectly for me. Reduced disk usage from 100% to ~20%
Thank you very much for helping me finally solve my 100% disk problem on my Windows 10 computer. I really appreciate your time and effort to provide such an easy-to-follow guide on fixing this problem.
Thanks! My Laptop is 4 years old and is getting sluggish by the month. First solution worked immediately. Fan is quitter, more responsive and overall quicker. Didn't even needed to reboot! Disc usage dropped to 6% immediately!
I have had this problem since windows 10 released years ago. Oddly enough only on my laptops. In any case, It is massively annoying and if there was a realistic alternative to Windows I would jump ship like all the upper class on the Titanic. What often works for me more than any other is to restore my computer to a point where it was running as it should be. Thanks for the vid.
Use Linux if you can't stand the normal issues of windows , ubuntu is designed for general use. You can use a virtual machine to run windows to run anything you want to use that requires Windows.
Rebuild pc back in September and reinstalled windows no 100% disc usage on that pc. However laptop still has the issue now rarely use it as a result. I might make it into a chromebook or linux system instead though don't want to lose ms office
If none works then please try these: 1) Run system file scan (don't ignore this as this may sound as a basic and less likely way but I would like to tell you that it worked for me feel bad why I didn't do it earlier), 2) Make sure super-fetch (SysMain) service is running it improves a lot of system performance. 3) While SysMain usually improves performance it may sometimes be the culprit itself. Go ahead and try disabling it temporarily, if that works (now don't just be a speedo wait a minute for your pc to take a breath and then check it) and if it doesn't enable it again.
First method worked for me. after disabling the win search it instantly solved the disk issue :) Had 2 days to sit and fix problems on win 10. From Win update not updating, to corrupted files , to Hdd 100%: All 3 issues now fixed and i feel proud of myself!
it was the defragment thingy for me, thanks for the help! subbing P.S. my old laptop finally comes back to be usable (i literally replaced this one because of the disk problem)

Iv watched this video after only 2 years of suffering.
same. Just endured it but its too much now.
Rip
UPDATE: watched it and still suffering.
I have played on potato for 5 years(really fuked life) finally got a gaming pc but this thing is annoying now
Thank you so much. It’s sometimes difficult to find troubleshooting videos that can talk you through things as comprehensively and as succinctly as you do. This video fixed my problem. In my task manager I noticed that the system kept spiking up in usage randomly and my disk usage was consistently at 100% without running anything but the task manager itself. I believe the first item on this video’s list helped with some things, but item #5 is where I saw most of the improvement. Before, sometimes it would take somewhere around 15 seconds to open just my Windows Start menu. Blegh. Thank you again. Very helpful.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!

Disable window search & reset virtual memory worked for me. At the beginning tho, it’s always 100% or closer but it calms down within 5 min or so. Thank you so much!
thank you :)
helloooooooooo
Helo
Hii
ha orange guy lol wasnt expecting u here
Hi Goat Orange
Virtual memory was the key. I reduced below the minimum to 900 and did the math for the ram on the second. Disk usage and memory really fixed. I was able to open and work around programs browsers and my pc worked like new. Great video learned a lot. 👍😁
What is your ram then
@@TatarFromKazan old device. Bought a new one. Sold the old one. All I can tell you. Fixed it then by this video that old device.

Disabling SuperFetch seemed to do it. Thanks a ton!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
@@EasyTechs It worked for me too, but made my pc launching app times x10 slower, is this a sign of making my pc slower but not freezing?
@@ΓιώργοςΧασάπης-υ9ω he already said in the video , once you disable superfetch ,app startup will be slower
I feel like it's better to disable windows search indexing rather than superfetch
The first tip helped drastically. Went from 100 to 0

yeah and i didn’t even have to restart to see the difference
Quick tip: after version 1809 Superfetch is now called SysMain.
Thanks..This Took A Lot Of Disk Usage..An I Thought It As Something Else..Now I Know What To Disable
Im convinced. Windows 10 is the anti christ.
Nope. It's anti linux christ
Hey, Windows 10 may have problems but is definitely not as bad as Windows 8 and 8.1
@RobloxerMartin yes it's because solid state drives are faster , much faster actually than hard disk drives
@@CringePotato talking about windows 8 i whould rather prefer windows xp
i was just watching this video and then somehow my disk went from 100 % to 4%

trying this after two years of suffering from 100 disk,, i've watched so many videos and googled it so many times and none of them worked for me. there were two unique tricks i seen in this video, so if it it works, i thank you so much
what were the tricks? I'm also tryna fix my stuff lol
@@AE-or7xd haha, most of the ones i tried didn't work for me, but literally just google 'how to solve 100 percent disk usage',, theres so many websites about it along with rare solutions. sadly, none of these have worked for me, the most it's done is went to 0-10 and then spiked up to 100 again
SuperFetch goes by Sysmain btw, you can look it up but disabling it helped a lot. I might be dumb or something but hope this helped and thx for the vid Mr.EzTechs.
serperior 21212 thank you, I was worried when I couldn’t find superfetch 😂
So enter same replacing super fetch with Sysmain?
Oliva Jimenez yes
also one of reason is if your Hard Disk is near on failing. it is better to back up all the data need and replace the HDD or better move on to SSD rather tweaking many thing
I agree with this comment, it has been my experience with a couple of poorly performing Computers.
I have mine as brand new. But, every once in a while I’ll have this stupid issue
@@dvaVivy brand new as well. my old computer runs far better, and it's crammed with all kinds of shit
mine is sometimes it becomes 100% even in idle, sometime its normal, is it the symptom? i've been using this hard drive for 5 years
Very good video my man ! You explained everything very well with good images and ''how to do'' step by step instructions. You the boss

Disabling Windows Search did the trick. My performance has been restored. Thank you!
i know you posted this ages ago, but THANK YOU!
Very helpful video with clarity of speech. My disk percentage dropped to 0% from 100% after resetting the virtual memory. Well done brother!
Good to know it helped you out Taiwo, thanks so much for the feedback!
Thanks for the solutions! I do suggest creating a restore point before performing any tasks.
Thanks!
This really helped me fix two of my computers that have been having this problem, and I have had someone look at one of my computers, and he somewhat fixed it, but it is already back to 100% disk usage but fixed now, thanks to you.

Very good informative video I must say to the negative commenters this video has helped lots of people and some times it failed to help I personally have used all the fixes during my work day and also had to replace the hard drive with a new ssd which also fixed many computers. He made the video in his own time to just help people please remember this before posting negative comments

[Advance System Settings -> Performance Options -> Visual effects -> Adjust for best performance] worked perfectly for me. Reduced disk usage from 100% to ~20%
Thank you very much for helping me finally solve my 100% disk problem on my Windows 10 computer. I really appreciate your time and effort to provide such an easy-to-follow guide on fixing this problem.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Thanks!
My Laptop is 4 years old and is getting sluggish by the month.
First solution worked immediately. Fan is quitter, more responsive and overall quicker.
Didn't even needed to reboot! Disc usage dropped to 6% immediately!
Every windows 10 PC I have ever owned has done this. Even in 2019 and going into 2020
Starting to think maybe Linux is the way to go
Better buy ssd versions

Wow, 3 years and it still works
My issue got resolved by resetting the registry for Ahci controller
Thanks man, crisp and very informative video 👍
I have had this problem since windows 10 released years ago. Oddly enough only on my laptops. In any case, It is massively annoying and if there was a realistic alternative to Windows I would jump ship like all the upper class on the Titanic.
What often works for me more than any other is to restore my computer to a point where it was running as it should be.
Thanks for the vid.
Use Linux if you can't stand the normal issues of windows
, ubuntu is designed for general use. You can use a virtual machine to run windows to run anything you want to use that requires Windows.
Use Windows 7 its much much better and faster and easier.
Go Windows 7 my dude
@@bmhater1283 best version of windows. Right next to XP
That's it, I'm going to install Linux. Im tired of this.
How did it go?
My problem with Linux is that it doesnt get the support of many games but i definitly want it to work.
Yes, i hate disk lagging.
But on SSD windows works fine.
Also some games can be launched by wine
@@Gameplayer55055 a lot can be played thru Steam Proton
@Killk4809 linux doesnt support warframe. I need warframe.
SSD not the solution as I have this problem with an SSD
Ur default is ssd or hdd ?
@@kibomine only one drive is ssd. Time to upgrade to linux I think
Ya mme to fuking ssd
My default is ssd and having 100 disk usage
Rebuild pc back in September and reinstalled windows no 100% disc usage on that pc. However laptop still has the issue now rarely use it as a result. I might make it into a chromebook or linux system instead though don't want to lose ms office
If none works then please try these: 1) Run system file scan (don't ignore this as this may sound as a basic and less likely way but I would like to tell you that it worked for me feel bad why I didn't do it earlier), 2) Make sure super-fetch (SysMain) service is running it improves a lot of system performance. 3) While SysMain usually improves performance it may sometimes be the culprit itself. Go ahead and try disabling it temporarily, if that works (now don't just be a speedo wait a minute for your pc to take a breath and then check it) and if it doesn't enable it again.
Solved it with the Defrag thing - you’re a hero!
I don't have this issue but for some reason, I'm watching this video. It's a great video, btw.
Me too mate. In-case something wrong happends. You never know.

Thank you for making this video. Disabling super fetch seems to have worked for me.

First method worked for me.
after disabling the win search it instantly solved the disk issue :)
Had 2 days to sit and fix problems on win 10.
From Win update not updating,
to corrupted files , to Hdd 100%:
All 3 issues now fixed and i feel proud of myself!
