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 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.
For anyone if the video tips are not working try this steps: 1. Go to Task manager in your pc/laptop 2. Go to processes tab 3. Select windows explorer 4. Click on restart
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....
In my years of PC work, running multiple antivirus software simultaneously can really slow things down over all. Either CPU, the memory, or the hdd usage. I guess too many back ground processes trying to basically do the same task.
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
you dont need to do this and all just go to contoll pannel power option then choose high perfomance its that easy and also update your windows and your drivers
Defrags are essential actually. Most times, widows has an automatic boot defrag just in order to reduce boot time. Defragmenting can also just increase general disk performance
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!
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.
I thought my laptop was broken for 4 years… it was always running at 100% disk usage even when NOTHING was open. But now it works properly and i can recover all my old files from 2015. Thank you so much man you are a live saver!
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!
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 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!
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 👍👍
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🎉
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?
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?
FINALLY!! something that works! I thank you for making this video. As soon as I disabled "connected devices platform" the disk % dropped substantially.
Guys I was suffering from this 100% disc usage problem but because of this guy my computer is now running smoothly he is a life saviour ❤❤. He deserves a like and sub!!!❤❤
It worked for thousands. If not for you then step 1 check for virus if doesn't work Step 2 Re Install Windows if still issues Step 3 It's time to change Hdd and move to ssd hard drive 👍
Dude listen. YOU ABSOLUTLEY ROCK! I thought that I would have to take this to the computer store or buy a new computer and those are both pricey options but you litteraly saved me here THANKS A LOT!
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.
This works for me 👏 I had replaced the HDD with SSD a year ago and my PC still super slow, but after implementing this solution it became usable 🤩 thank you very much.
Hi! It really worked for me on the first try, my disk went from 100% to 0%. I followed all the steps but I'm confused now cause it went back to 100% again😭

I followed these steps from safe mode,,, worked 100%
MAN!!! second setting on the video and went from 100 to 15% usage.. Thank you alot
That's wonderful mate cheers ❤️🙋

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.

Yes Firstly Update the windows to the latest updates.. 👍
Sorry, just at the disk optimisation stage, my option is showing as "Needs optimisation (169 days since last retrim)" Could this be causing an issues?
If it's a SSD then no need to optimize it. If spinning old hdd technology then yes you can do that.
Same I'm trying right now.. Hope its work😢
