So, I have an HP Elitebook 8540w since 2011 (specs below) and the last month or so the disk usage is spiking up to 100% and most of the time staying there until I log off. As mentioned I googled my problem and after reading a ton of threads and doing all sorts of fixes, I saw no results. I did in fact disabled Prefetch, Superfetch, B.I.T.S., disabled Windows notifications, disabled updates, resolved the issues caused by the Anniversary update, defraged my hard disk, ran chkdsk multiple times, downgraded to 1511 windows update,ran antivirus and antimalware scans a dozen of times,updated any outdated drivers,checked for all shorts of hardware errors (but found none),fixed bad sectors,opened up and cleaned the laptop from dust and stuff,even changed a hard disk but the usage is still 100%. The computer is noticeably slower than what it used to be although I can still operate it almost fine.The real problem is that I can no longer record game footage due to the fact that any recording software combined with the high disk usage absolutely demolishes my frame rate and video quality.
