So task manager shows my disk usage is 100%. I am currently not doing intensive pc work. What is causing this problem and how can I fix this? Screenshot included

Had this problem on a number of computers running Windows 10. Current (March 2019) Windows 10 Updates fixes most of this high drive activity. Spy-Bot’s Anti-Beacon software will block most of MicroSoft’s snoopy telemetry software which also causes much drive activity.

This is very common in windows 10. I wasn’t happy when mine was doing this so i installed an SSD. Problem solved

The computer is busy because Windows 10 is doing one of its many updates. Currently (2018) the only easy workaround is : let it run some hours while you are away… For more help, you may read “Why are Windows 10 updates so slow? “ (may 2018) : https://www.techadvisory.org/2018/03/why
