100% Disk Usage in Windows 10 Tips

100% Disk usage is still a major problem for lots of people. Today I'm revisiting the subject. My most popular video has been my 100% disk usage tips. Tons of people suffer from this problem and a year later its even worse then when I made the original video. Hopefully these tips will help you out.

I liked that you explained why disabling each service might help instead of just blindly disabling them without explanation. +Sub

I had that problem. I tried everything in the last video. Got rid of my crappy hard drive for ssd. Now it runs beautiful.

Took my disk usage from 100% down to 8%. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much.

Been having Disk Usage problems for some amount of time, and all the other videos don't go into exact detail as to why you need to disable these specific programs you showed. But unlike them, you point it out and you explain enough for those whom aren't tech savy to understand why these services are even there to begin with. Thank you, CPU Tech.

You are one of the best tech teachers I have ever seen, not exaggerating. Clean, clear and concise. Thank you so much.

IDK how this ended up in my recommendations, but gat damn am i glad it did! Thanks d00d!

The best part of this video that others fail at is, explaining what each disabling does. 10/10

THANK YOU so much - your first tip was missing from EVERY other video I've watched on this. Disabling Superfetch worked at first but the next time i went a week or so without using my laptop it was back at 100% - i did everything short of chkdsk because my settings wouldn't let me run one (?). The Connected user Telemtry function was the new culprit. You are a goddamn hero, my man!

[ShaheenJay]

You're a lifesaver. Disabling SysMain did the trick for me. Disk usage went from 100% to hovering around 10-15%. Excellent tips that actually works! Thanks man.

A fun tip that I always suggest: let you laptop run idle every so often, especially if you rarely use it for long period of time. It lets Windows rearrange items and complete tasks that would otherwise bog down your sporadic usage!

[marieking]

I’ve tried various things for years but your tips actually helped the problem! I was also scared of doing some of the things others suggested because I had no idea what it would do to my computer. Thank you so much.

[CommanderWiggins]

Thank you! This was a great video. You were clear, consice, and easy to follow. The 100% disk useage has been plaguing me and making it difficult to get important work done. Fixing the driver bug was what resolved it for me. I know I need to just give in and buy an SSD but in the meantime this has made life much easier.

In the section about editing the registry (that is the section about the disk controller), the Regedit tool has a SEARCH function - much better than trying to visually match the string with the listing in Regedit. If you click on "Edit" at the top of the Regedit window, one option is Search.

Wow. You are absolutely amazing! I love the way you explain things (as other comments have also mentioned). I've been looking for a solution to my disk issues for a long while now and only this video has helped so far. Subbing for sure!

[coreyoliver]

You did an EXCELLENT job with this video. Easy to watch, clearly explaining what you are doing and why. Well done. Fixed my issue with editing the registry regarding that storehci driver.

[liammurphy]

I only today found your site and have already learnt more than I know what to do with. I'm looking forward to checking out your back catalogue. Thank you.

[davidchooixianloong]

Thank you so much for explaining what disabling the services you mentioned does. I really appreciate this. I have an online exam tomorrow morning and the disk usage slows down my laptop's performance dramatically. So this helped a lot.

[ASkepticalHumanOnYouTube]

Appreciate your insight into what they actually do and why disabling htem is no big deal. SysMain was the culprit on my computer. I was CONSTANTLY hovering at 100, to the point where the computer was becoming unusable. Disable SysMain and it IMMEDIATELY dropped down to hovering around zero (albeit still bouncing around.) Thanks brother!

[infilraor]

Wow. Great video, man. It had crossed my mind that my 100% disk usage came down to the OS expecting an SSD to be in use. I mean, it IS becoming the standard now and for good reason. Thanks for the direct and informative tips, brother. Liked and subscribed.

I searched so many videos in YouTube none of them worked. Your tips worked . Thankyou for educating us in tech side
