I own an ASUS i7 with 4GB RAM and I'm using Windows 10. Lately the my games fps dropped drastically. I did also notice that in my task manager, the disk tab very easily increases. When I click the search bar, it would go to 100% and then go back down. When I played open any app in general it also went to 100% and I have no idea what's causing it.

4GB RAM is too little for Windows to run efficiently. A lot of your disk activity will be pagefile usage. Your statements of the effect being especially noticeable when switching apps is a perfect example. The impact is even worse on a laptop which may have a 5400 RPM disk.
