100% disk usage

[M1cro]

Okay so basically my problem with my computer is that it’s constantly at 100% disk usage constantly. I currently am moving and my desktop is in the back of some truck getting sent to my new house so I have been playing on a laptop I got about a year ago on February 10 at about 9:30 pm. I have used it on and off but mostly on vacation or when I am upgrading my desktop etc. And today I got on it and saw it at 100% disk usage I thought no big deal I disabled all anti virus disk cleanup deleted some games canceled everything out in task manager that I could. But it was still at 100% disk usage. If any of the wonderful people at HP could help you would be a life saver because I dabble in “professional gaming” and the r6 challenger leauge has been delayed just a little bit longer and so if I could get this fixed before then that would be great thank you.
