Your hard drive is bad, you can get a 120gb ssd for like $20

>I want helpful answers guys, no reasonable shit ONLY MAGIC THX

Sage

Nigga what? His hard drive is fine. He has barely any RAM though so it's all being pushed over into the pagefile on his HDD which is causing the disk usage spike.

Alright, fine, I'll give in ya fucking Jews. 2 questions though.
How install SSD?
And what the fuck am I supposed to do with 120gb?
Pic related is me btw.

Is that a computer with 1 gb memory in 2019

>that RAM
>not sorting by disk usage
>skype
this has to be b8

Forget that shit dude, it's beyond you. No offense.

You're likely low on RAM so just buy some RAM. You should be running 8GB RAM at least so upgrade that shit.

Could be but who knows, OP hasn't posted any specs at all.

With the ram at only 78% it’s not pagefile fucktard, he probably has a disk drive that went bad. It’s common with older computers.

>2020
>having discs

Poo in the loo
Deactivate Windows Search and prefetch

I did.

16gb minimum for bloatshitblows

Not OP but I've been thinking about upgrading to an SSD. I can get one easy enough but could I just copy my entire drive over and still have Windows activated on it? I'm still on 8 since fucking Windows 10 and I don't want to have to move to Windows 10.

Then you have no choice to use the inferior OS aka GNU/Linux

>>having discs
Yes cause storing all your downloaded porn on SSD storage and just have it sit there seems like a solid plan.

SSD for in your computer, external HDD for cold storage. Easy.

your ram is full and windows starts using your hdd as a ram. Upgrade ram

Maybe download some RAM?

Even if you couldn't, Windows 10 licenses are dirt cheap on ebay. Like 2 dollars cheap. If you've got the cash for a new hard drive, then you have the money for a new license.

you clearly never had a pc/laptop with 2 or 4gb of ram. It happens as soon as it goes over 80%. And look how conveniently the list is sorted by ram usage.
OP knows the answer is in too much ram usage, so he went to task manager, killed the process that uses the most ram, and posted pic

I mean a license for Windows 8, I really don't want Windows 10.

>$2 W10 license
I have my doubts about how legit it would be.

If by copying you mean cloning using software then yes.
>SSD for in your computer, external HDD for cold storage. Easy.
HDD proven my point.

>I mean a license for Windows 8, I really don't want Windows 10.
They are datamining W8 just as hard.
>I have my doubts about how legit it would be.
If they don't work, you just put in a claim through ebay/paypal and get your money back.

The number of random reads/writes is what stalls your HDD, not the sequential speed which processes tab shows

Throw out your spinning rust drive.
Or defrag it.

Your dumbass probably got a virus if you didn't sort it by disk usage instead to show what's using the most disk usage

Of all the dumb cunts that responded, you're by far the worse.

Pagefile usage in Windows isn't the same as swap usage on Linux. Pagefile usage occurs no matter how much RAM is free but gets worse as the amount of free RAM decreases.

Defragging is useful, on old technology drives.

Nope.
No viruses here fren.

"no"
You are a fucking retard.

Why don't you click on it to see what is utilizing your disk you absolute win 10 retard. Even better don't even install that malware ridden shit and use win7.

Help me with the information I provided you fucking useless, incompetent Jow Forums faggots.

I like win10 though.

Is that disk from the 1800s man? Why it 100% when it's only doing 0.6 MB/s of stuff?

That's what I'm asking you faggots.

It could be i/o bottlenecked e.g. doing 4k writes of many small files

This shit happened to two laptops I installed 10 on. What the fuck is the cause? The botnet services? I want to make a 3950x build, but if I need to use 10 on my main machine I'd rather just wait more.

The reality is that your laptop was always slow, it's just how they measure disk utilization in Windows 10 that changed.

Sorry I'm a moron. I forgot to mention that the disk usage would only be at 100% right after boot, not allowing me to use the computer for about a minute. Then disk usage went back down to normal levels and stayed until the next reboot.

Actual answer is that smartscreen and/or real time protection is freaking out.
Has happened to me multiple times even on fresh installs, so I just disabled both through group policy because Microsoft wants to keep turning it on behind your back.

>And be fucking helpful for once Jow Forums.
*sensible chuckle*

Stop going to weird websites

Telemetry. You agreed to this when you installed it. You've been warned numerous times about it. You don't want to be helped.

OP, you'll literally find what's using up your disk if you do that.

Disable Superfetch.

Kill yourself.

Buy an ssd
