From past 10 days my dell Inspiron 15 3567 laptop is showing 100 % Disk usage even when boot up when I open any app it jump to 100% I have already disabled sysmain and windows search what should I do now due to this issue my hard disk temperature is rising when boot up
Try the below method and see if it makes any difference.
Disable or Delay Start the Windows Services
If you seldom use such Windows services, it is better to disable them and fix the 100% disk usage. 1. Use Windows shortcut keys Win + R to launch Run. 2. Type services.msc and press the Enter. 3. Locate to the Superfetch. 4. Double click the Superfetch service for Properties. 5. Select Automatic (Delay Start) from the drop-down menu of Startup type. 6. Double click the HomeGroup Listener, the HomeGroup Provider and the Windows Search.
Select Disable from the drop-down menu of Startup type.
I am facing the same issue and tried the above steps but still the problem exists. Mine is also 4 GB Ram and 1 TB hard disk with 70% free space. I have disabled the superfetch and prefetch services. Stopped the windows update service too. This 100% disk usage is causing system slowness.
MOST IMPORTANT : KEEP THE LATEST WINDOWS UPDATES INSTALLED, IF YOUR MACHINE IS NOT RUNNING LATEST WINDOWS UPDATES THAN THIS ISSUE WILL NOT BE PERMANENTLY FIXED.
Additionally you can make following changes.
1. Run > MSCONFIG >> Services
Uncheck these services and reboot
Background Intelligent Transfer Service
Connected User Experiences and Telemetry
SysMain
2 Run >> REGEDIT
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE : Software : Policies >> Microsoft >> Windows>> data Collection
On the right side do a right Click > New : DWORD (32 bit) and name it to “Allow Telemetry”
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> System CurrentControl Set >> Services >>>> TimeBrokerSvc >> On the right-hand side change the value of the “Start” to 4
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> System >> CurrentControl Set >> Control >> Session Manager >> Click on Memory Management >> Change the Value of “ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 1
Go to settings > privacy > diagnostics and feedback > Optional
Settings > System > Notifications > Turn every notification off
Setting > Privacy > Background apps > Turn off
Reboot
Once again having latest windows update is must. Please check your windows build by Run > Winver
If you get any number like 2004 or below, you are running an old build and you should update your windows, by running Microsoft Upgrade assistance application.
I'm sure you found the solution by now, but I came across the same issue and found that if I run Services.msc and stopped the dell services it fixed the issue. The service I ended up turning off/disabled was the dell service linked to installing software. Once I turned that off it HDD usage dropped back to normal.
