Envy
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I have searched google to see if I can resolve this high disk usage issue I have with my HP Envy with Windows 8.1.  Even when I literally have nothing open and running the disk usage is showing nearly 100% usage.  I've tried some of the recommendations on this forum but it has not done anything to help.  Hopefully, someone has some further input.  Thank you in advance.

Given the date of your post, I would have expected someone to respond to it before this -- but since that has not happened, I will take a shot at it ...

You say you have nothing open but the screenshot shows at least a dozen Chrome instances running, so I have to presume you have a bunch of tabs in use in Chrome.  I would shut down Chrome completely and see if that makes a difference.
