Been having Disk Usage problems for some amount of time, and all the other videos don't go into exact detail as to why you need to disable these specific programs you showed. But unlike them, you point it out and you explain enough for those whom aren't tech savy to understand why these services are even there to begin with. Thank you, CPU Tech.

Took my disk usage from 100% down to 8%. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much.

Yesterday (Jul/04/2021) I was talking to a friend about how much I hate Windows 10 and its resource-hungry sh*t, and, what do you know? Today (Jul/05/2021) st. Algorythmus recommends this video. Dates provided to show timeline.

The best part of this video that others fail at is, explaining what each disabling does. 10/10

Thank you! This was a great video. You were clear, consice, and easy to follow. The 100% disk useage has been plaguing me and making it difficult to get important work done. Fixing the driver bug was what resolved it for me. I know I need to just give in and buy an SSD but in the meantime this has made life much easier.

Thank you so much for explaining what disabling the services you mentioned does. I really appreciate this. I have an online exam tomorrow morning and the disk usage slows down my laptop's performance dramatically. So this helped a lot.

I would "apply" the disable prior to stopping the service. some start up right away and will be running even after you disable. Wsearch did this.

I searched so many videos in KZread none of them worked. Your tips worked . Thankyou for educating us in tech side

In the section about editing the registry (that is the section about the disk controller), the Regedit tool has a SEARCH function - much better than trying to visually match the string with the listing in Regedit. If you click on "Edit" at the top of the Regedit window, one option is Search.

That's probably because sysmain incorrectly guessed the program you would be loading, and since you loaded a different program it took more time to load. With sysmain stopped no such programs were loaded and so it loaded in normal time and appeared to be faster (Not sure if I'm correct though but maybe this is the reason)

The only reasons you would want a Hard Disk Drive is: 1) To write/read large data "linearly" in the most efficient manner like Audio/Video. 2) For Archiving in general. Hard Disk Drives last a LOT longer than SSDs in use and storage. Nowadays, the OS drive and general data drives should always be a SATA SSD at the very least or a M.2 for best performance for sure.

Spinning drives are fine for data and personal files, expecially if you have a lot or bulky files. I don't think any system manufacturers should be putting the OS onto a spinning drive. If that means they can't produce that super cheap $150 net laptop, fine, make it $170 with an SSD and make your customers happy. The performance drop It really not worth the little savings between the two in the small size that those budget laptops get (120 to 256 GB)

The driver one fixed it. For the last 2 years i have been "short term" fixing it. It instantly droped to 3% from 100% . Thank you so much

Just so you know, the all the High Performance plan does is is stop the CPU from idling at a lower clock speed, it does not affect disk usage at all. I would actually recommend leaving it on balanced unless you know that you definitely need it on the High Performance plan. Leaving it on high performance will likely significantly reduce battery life on laptops when just doing basic tasks like browsing the web or watching videos where the CPU is likely barely being used anyway.

Thank you so much! My computer was crashing all the time and was so slow. I just found out today, that my disk % was at a 100. I disabled the first two on your list, and now it is at about 2% and 59% when I play a relatively heavy game (for my PC at least). And it surely helped with the speed a lot. Looking forward to see if it has helped with the crashing in the long run too (or if I need a new PSU), but it has not crashed since.

In lieu of this being posted again, I mentioned having 100% disk read issues and a whole layer of wacky problems related to kernal issues. Long story short, repairing Windows 10's system files completely fixed the disk usage problem. Whatever it was that was corrupt somehow some way was entirely fixed after repairing the OS. Its pretty ironic actually, that's usually the last resort method I choose after exhausting everything else and even that rarely works. Usually formatting is the end point. Basically, if you've tried everything here I would highly recommend just trying the most obvious thing outside of windows update and that is just using the repair function for the OS.

The 2nd to last option finally fixed. I'd expect the disk to be 100% for a long time when I didn't even do anything yet but not anymore. Well, it still goes up to 100% but I'll just wait for a moment and it decreases dramatically. This made a huge difference. And the update also fixed it, thank you very much man.

Honestly, the single biggest improvement I found on older Win 10 PC's regarding high disk usage, especially at startup, upgrade to an SSD. Less then $100 and breathes new life into older PC's and laptops. That and bump RAM to 8GB. Those two changes alone help dramatically.
