Ragdd Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Harddisk is a 5400 rpm and is to slow as a bootdisk or disk to start applications or games from. The accestimes are much higher then with a 7200 rpm harddisk. Replace harddisk with a 7200 rpm harddisk like the WDC Black, or with a 7200 rpm SSHD, best option is to replace it with a SSD like the Crucial MX500.

sefton22 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 If this is a recent update, there have been issues with Cortana, a fix was issued to fix others problems, but it broke Cortana. PC's where running at 100% CPU High CPU Usage in Cortana This issue appears to be a bug in the latest version of Cortana that occurs when users have disabled the ability to send local searches to Bing. It was discovered that a temporary fix for this issue is to enable BingSearch again. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-investigating-windows-10-cortana-high-cpu-issues/ https://borncity.com/win/2019/08/30/windows-10-v1903-update-kb4512941-workaround-for-the-cortana-high-cpu-load-issue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neofita Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 something is using your disk 100% continuously it could be malware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zangry Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 buying an SSD will surely change your life. However if you can't make the purchase now ... you can try updating windows 10 (your version is the "old" 10.0.17134, aka 1803, Redston4). Maybe the cause of using the disk was an old bug. First of all you obviously check with ADWCleaner or similar tools to eliminate any malware. Do not change the pc / cpu. It's ok for windows 10. Let us know.

eurobyn Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I think you have 2 options to check first check if you get the most out the system you need right click this pc and choose properties - advanced properties perfomance settings - advanced and look at virtual memory (change) if this is to low choose the memory settings asking not to automatic but choose custom settings fill in what windows want recommended settings as start and max aply this settings and restart the system second option is to install the latest chipset for youre motherboard go to asus support site choose youre system board and download latest system board chipset driver for youre system.and install this driver. this could solve youre problem. otherwise it could bee a startup problem look at system startup apps it is a bit difficult to say this all in englisch (i m from Belgium speaking dutch) i hope it helps you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwa Piva Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 What I find strange is the specification of your hard drive Disk 0 with H,C,E,F partitions. You did not make a clean install of W10 (?) and maybe there went something wrong. You have only a 466 GB HD with 4 partitions on it? That's about the max for a Legacy computer. Does Windows 10 Pro have enough space on the C partition to function at full speed? Maybe the old Windows is still on it to be removed. If you can buy a new HD put a clean install of Windows 10 on it and use your old drive as a backup (Disk 1). Keep in mind that with every update of Windows the program needs more and more space and your drivers and user programs also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre™ Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 This first thing you need to do is identify the root cause of the problem. In this case, the process that is utilizing 100% disk usage. In order for you to find this process, open Resource Monitor. Once you find the culprit, more options will be available to you.

sefton22 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 As suggested before, you may need to do a fresh install with all updates. it can happen that some files are not deleted and replaced but overwritten and this is where problems lie. It took me 3 attempts with Win10 about a year ago, it was one problem after the other. on the 3rd fresh install, either MS had implemented new fixes/ updates, but Win10 started to work as it should have. I have put off updating to 1903, but i've started noticing a few stalls, random crashes happening and now WinUpdate is having a tantrum (or i've disable it🙃) but it could be a good thing with the current bugs MS keep creating, it's something that i don't have to deal with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
