MY Laptop consuming 100 % disk usage after power on. Also it was getting freeze due to the 100 % usage. I do no why it was taking that much usage after power on or after some times. IT was not at all reducing. always in high level more than 70 % while using any other application or working

There are two very different disk stats: disk usage and disk utilization. The first is the amount of space used and it could not be 100% or the PC would not run. The second is the amount of disk activity -- and that can be 100% routinely, as well as the processor being 100%, when Windows Updates runs -- which happens every week. And that would happen shortly after you booted the PC and connected to the Internet.

As I suspected, that is Disk Utilization (amount of work) not Disk Usage (amount of space) -- and as I said, Windows Update, which runs every week without your knowledge or permission, will do that.
