Hello all,
Recently I've been having a problem with my disk usage on my Windows 8.1 laptop. Whenever i launch a program, my disk usage spikes up to either 99% or 100%, and the culprits are almost always what shows as "System" and "Service Host" in task manager. This has happened to me before but it always seemed to stop taking up so much disk usage after a quick restart. I can barely manage to run TeamSpeak which is what i use to talk to friends, and if i want to play games? Forget about it, i can't run Steam without it taking up 100% of my disk usage within seconds and crashing. I've tried almost every possible solution there is that's seemed to work for people having this same issue. I've run several chkdsk repairs through command prompt, changed my paging file to the correct amount of RAM and have tried completely turning it off just to see a difference, I've installed all the latest Windows updates and drivers to my computer, and still have not seen any difference whatsoever in my computers incredibly high disk usage.
I have an ASUS ROG 18.1" laptop, running an Intel core i7-4700HQ @ 2.49 GHz, 8 gb of RAM, a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M video card, on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 OS.
Any possible solutions or help with my troubles would be greatly appreciated, because i not only play games on this computer, but use it for work and school, and desperately need help fixing it ASAP. Thanks for all help.
EDIT: I have also recently disabled BITS, which also had no effect on my disk usage/pc performance whatsoever.
