[FIXED] Disk Usage Always at 100%, How Can I Fix This?

[Licker Fricker]

My disk usage is always at 100%, it hasn't been a MAJOR problem, until I tried to reinstall CS:GO due to an update not downloading. Please help! Thanks!
Screenshots:
{LINK REMOVED} Disk Usage
{LINK REMOVED} CS:GO Update Usage
{LINK REMOVED} CS:GO Reinstallment
Again, thanks and all help appreciated!

Edit:
Things I tried to fix this:

• Disabled Prefetch and Superfetch
  
• Installed Spybot Anti-Beacon and disabled Data Collection and Telemetry (This helped alot)
  
• Disabled Flash and updated Google Chrome
  
• Disabled many startup programs that were not used often

Which OS are you using?

For Google Chrome type chrome://help
in the address bar. Let it check for updates.
Your Chrome should be on a 0.55 version by now, which is much better overall.


Reboot and let the system idle with just Task Manager / Resource Monitor open.
See what it's doing.

Overall, jump over to look at Resource Monitor instead; from there you can click "Disk" and actually see what all (in better details) is using the disk. It breaks it all down much better.

Task Manager is simple, at a glance. Not detailed.

It seems that it is at 100% usage all the time, with System taking up the majority of it (90-99%)
I would like to know how to fix this, I just disabled Superfetch, but it's still at 100% usage.

I'm using Windows 10 and when I checked the version it was Version 54.0.2840.99 m

I see, but what exactly do I do with the information that I'm given?

Hard to say, until you see what is really using your Disk; which only Resource Monitor can better shed light on; since it will break down each EXE, DLL, etc... and such using the Disk, the read/write, etc.

Task Manager will not do that.

So would I disable these programs using up too much of my Disk in System most likely? And thanks for helping out so much!

Again, no one can answer that until you perhaps share that info.

Maybe what is actually using the disk?

You could expand the window out fully and take a screenshot.
Just be sure nothing personal is in a screenshot u don't wish to share.
To capture a single window only, click it to make it active, then hold ALT key and press Print-Screen. The open a photo app (like MS Paint) and paste in there.

100% disk usage could mean alot of things; so it's hard to say if that is actually a problem or not from what little info there is so far.

If the OS is newly installed/updated, that can be quite normal until it has finished with updates, or caching for example. Things like dot-NET Framework updates can take alot of time for example, cause it rebuilds its database whenever an update is applied.

running shortcuts with command 'executequeueditems' make re-build .mzz cache file faster:
C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework64/v2.x/ngen.exe executequeueditems
C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework64/v4.x/ngen.exe executequeueditems

Well it's been this way for quite some time now, it's only been a big problem for me recently though because my CS:GO won't update. Something that has a high total bytes/sec is WPR DiagTrackAotLogger, which I can't disable because I can't find it.

I ran these commands and it only tells me that it can't find the path specified.

I think I might have found something that would help? {LINK REMOVED} Screenshot What is this Diag Tracker and how do I disable it?

What Seven7 listed is a mere suggestion; not the exact path.
If you have the latest dot-NET Framework then that path should be:
C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/ngen.exe executequeueditems

Now if you launch PowerShell ISE instead of Command Prompt
you can actually copy & paste

Basically, launch PowerShell ISE
type cd\ press enter
and then copy this line:
C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/ngen.exe executequeueditems
then switch back to powershell, press CTRL V to paste that line, then press enter

*Ignore that it shows in here as a "web-link" ~ It does that cause of the . net

Just did that, and it tells me that all compilation targets are up to date.

Also, the Diag Tracker that I mentioned before, is that even necessary? Because I think it could be a cause for this problem.

Ok now moving on, that
WPR_Initiated_DiagTrackAotLogger_WPR System Collector.etl
is performance related data collection and telemetry.
Its one thing we warn Win10 users about, but it's now in Win7 and 8 as well.

I would install Spybot Anti-Beacon and immunize
Then restart windows.

That should put a stop to that.
