I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and I realized that my HDD usage was almost always at 100%. I turned off 'Show notifications about Windows' and it went down to 0,1 MB/s when I'm idle.
The problem started when I wanted to play a game (in this example GTA V), both the disk and memory usage increased. The guilty app was 'System and compressed memory'.
I turned off some services like prefetch and superfetch and it made the situation very much better, instead of using almost a GB of RAM, system and compressed memory's highest memory usage was around 60-100 MB since then, and I think there was a decrease in HDD usage too. But sometimes when I'm in a car and driving very fast I still get those FPS drops. The game runs at 60 FPS, but when these lags come it drops very low, very rarely it stops for 0,5-1 second. And for example in the online mode of the game this is really annoying, because compared to me everyone else moves, only I'm the one who gets frozen.
So I'd like some suggestions what other services should I disable, or install some kind of apps that improve the gaming performance. I wouldn't like to go back to Windows 8.1 because Windows 10 seems to be pretty comfortable for me, so I'd like to improve it.
My specs:
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
RAM: 2xKingston HyperX Blu 4GB 1600Mhz (8 GB, dual channel)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97P-D3
VGA: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970
HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm SATA 6GB/s
PS: Sorry for bad English.
