Hello @Manoj84 

 

Welcome !

 

I would recommend that you start and explore Windows Task Manager.

Then, go to "Processes" tab and sort them by Disk usage by clicking on Disk

 

Here is a detailed guide >> https://www.howtogeek.com/405806/windows-task-manager-the-complete-guide/

 

This way you will be able to see what are the top processes/services that utilize your Disk most.

It may be Windows trying to update itself (Windows is very "resource hungry" when it comes to Windows Updates), it may be a 3rd party app...

If you reinstall Windows fresh, make sure that you pause Windows Updates immediately after you reinstall it  and see if any difference >> https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/pause-windows-10-updates

 

For example, from the above screenshot I can see that your computer used W10 version 1903, which is one year old. Windows will definitely try to update to 1909 or newer + all other drivers and Windows security updates. This is resource hungry and time consuming procedure.

 

If you need additional help, please take pictures of your screen, make a video, upload them somewhere and provide a link to see. Show Task Manager Disk usage, pause updates, uninstall any 3rd party security apps if you use any.

 

Hope this helps.
