100% Disk Usage and Occasional 100% CPU Usage
08-14-2016 07:03 AM
Hello,
I have been trying to overcome this issue of 100% disk and CPU usage for quite some time before but no solution has worked.
It is especially bad when i start my laptop or when i turn it on after hibernation.
I tried using this https://chaladi.me/2013/10/11/how-to-fix-windows-8-100-disk-usage-issue/
and i have also resetted my laptop to factory version so now its empty, but it is still facing this issue.
How can I stop this problem?
Much thanks!!
