Hey y'all. So I upgraded to the new windows update yesterday, which is now making me go nuts because of how laggy it turned my computer into.

Now I don't exactly know if the update made my pc laggy, or something else, but ill let y'all know what my pc is doing now. So whenever I play any game, even ones that don't require much power, they start lagging terribly.

From that point I open task manager and it says that the disk space is at 100 percent and the CPU is also at 100 percent. Another weird thing is that the memory section says it is at like 70 percent even though I added up all the megabytes and it shouldn't even be at 25 percent, (I have 8 gigs of RAM).

So if someone can please help me fix this because it is making me pull out my hair.

Oh and here are my specs of it matters-

Intel core i3 6100

8 gigs

1 terabyte

I can include more if you need them. Oh and just for further clarification, my computer wad not laggy AT ALL just less then a week ago.

And my disc space is still at 100 percent even when not playing games. And I have used less then half of my 1 terabyte harddrive, so that shouldn't be the problem.

 
Solution
I would recommend clearing your temporary files that usually helps. Press windows key and "R" at the same time and type "%temp%" and press enter. Then do Ctrl "A" and delete them all. Some of the files will say it can not be deleted so just skip them. Now do the same but type "temp" and then after that do "prefetch". Usually that helps.

The system might just be pulling down updates that came after the Windows version that you loaded; go to 'updates', and see if there is any indication of updates being downloaded...; or, give it a day and see if the activity subsides...

If it persists, grab a screenshot of task manager with processes sorted from top to bottom in order of CPU usage....(can be done by clicking "CPU" twice)
