Windows Update runs every week and when it does that, it drives the disk utilization up to 100% along with the processor -- making the laptop all but unusable for a few hours.  

 

But after that is done, the disk utilization should drop back down along with the processor.

 

If yours is staying up there day after day, then there is a different issue.
