Task Manager Is At 100% Disk

My task manager disk stays at 100% and I can't figure out how to fix it and/or clean my task manager. Please help. 0 malware

 

Right! But I note nightowl_80 said "disk" not CPU. But to that, "Disk" at 100% does not automatically mean the disk is full. It might be full but it might just mean the bandwidth to and from the disk (disk access requests) has been maxed out. Some program or a bunch of programs are banging on the disk, trying to read and/or write data faster than the disk is capable of doing.

As suggested by plodr, in TM, if you click on "Disk", you can sort TM on that column and see which items are using the most disk resources.

Also,

When did the problem start?
Is it hitting 100% when you are actively using the computer or when the computer is otherwise idle?
How much free disk space do you have?
What programs do you have starting with Windows?
What version of Windows?
Have you rebooted?​

 

I have tried to reboot, malware search. I have windows 10, 5 gb free, I have noticed this problem about a month ago. I quit using my computer because I lose my patients waiting. Top 3 service are wsapx, malwarebytes service are the really only ones that stay high, the others rotate.

 

That's likely to be behind it, what's the total size of the drive?

 

1 tb, and its actually 7 not 5

 

Thanks, still well into the red zone, expect the unexpected when any resource gets to ~92%.

Run disk cleanup and uninstall stuff you don't need, until you reach 20GB minimum.

Then follow the 'Fix 2' here, don't go any further than that. Monitor for several days > week.

 

I agree with satrow. And I would emphasize the word "minimum" where he says 20GB. Operating systems need lots of free disk space just operate in. This is space needed to temporarily store copies of opened files (and there are many of those). And the system needs free space to temporarily store other files whenever you surf the Internet or start any of your other programs or open any of your personal documents. Then the OS needs free space for normal "housekeeping" chores like defragging hard drives or running TRIM and wear leveling on SSDs.

I personally think you should go for at least 30GB free space on boot drives.

You may need to seriously consider buying a bigger or second drive too.
