Hey there again & Sorry for the late reply, @Reckoner_!

I'd second what @skit75 suggested and advise you to reinstall the Microsoft Office from the Control Panel (Uninstall the program). Afterwards, you could also try running the sfc /scannow command from the CMD. It will scan the integrity of the protected system files and replace the corrupted versions. Checking for malware and doing a virus scan is also a great idea, indeed.

Keep us posted.

Try disabling "Show me tips about Windows"

Left click the Windows icon in bottom left.
Left click "Settings"
Left click "System"
Left click "Notifications & actions"
Move the slider to Off for "Show me tips about Windows"

See if that helps.

Hey there, @Reckoner_!

I'd recommend you start by disabling some Windows Services that might be causing the spikes in the HDD usage.
press Windows+R > write services.msc
Disable
1-Super fetch
2-Windows Search
3-Background Intelligent Transfer Service

If it doesn't improve the HDD usage, run some anit-virus/malware scans on your system. Afterwards, try swapping the SATA cable connecting your WD Black to the motherboard.

Keep us posted with the troubleshooting! :)
