Inspiron 11 3000 series, slow, fix found
If you are struggling with a very slow Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series laptop, and your Task Manager throws up 100% Disk Usage even when its not use. Just go find the solution to MSI 100% Disk use and particularly this by Dell itself =
Windows 10 - Task Manager Reports 100% Disk Utilization with MSI Mode Enabled
Thanks to this I could use this (it is the bottom of the chain on performance anyway) laptop finally. Before this fix above it was completely unusable.

Followed the steps. The hkey reg doesn't match your instructions, so that didn't work. Nor the second solution.
Kinda bad that this is the first thing I had to do the day I bought it. 100% CPU all the time from day one, first press of the power button out the box.

Truly transformative. Like a different laptop. The exact path differed from the one above but it worked and the computer is now usable.

Welcome to the Dell Community @Richard987
Is this closer to what you did???
Go to “Advanced System Settings”
In the “Performance” box click on “Settings”
Click on “Adjust for Best Performance”
Then click on “Apply”
Next increase "Virtual Memory"
Click on “Custom Size”
Set “Initial Size (MB)” larger than the “Recommended:” size.
Then set the “Maximum Size (MB)” larger than the “Initial Size (MB)”
Click on “SET” and then “OK”
REBOOT:
Best regards,
