    Disk at 100% on Windows 10
    « on: December 12, 2016, 08:37:49 AM »

    This is a copy of an issue I have/had but I would still like hep with it I am on windows 10 and my computer is acting like it has a virus but all scans ahave been clean (so about the typing wrong another issue is I cannot see when it does this ao I am typing and hoping it looks ok) I went to my task manager and the disk was at 100% and when I click it to bring up the highest user it said something about telemerty. And it goes away then comes back and this freezing is getting old real fast. Is there anything I can do that may help slow it down or even stop it?

    This article might be helpful: http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-telemetry-secrets/  It indicates that change of a setting in Windows might improve the situation.

        Exactly where did you get that?  I think you're talking about two different concepts, one being the % disk usage shown in Task Manager, and one being the space consumed on your hard drive with regular files as shown in File Explorer.
