Disk Is Constantly at 100% Usage and Slow Down My Computer

My 2018 Dell Inspiron model has an Intel UHD graphics card, 1TB HDD, and 8GB of RAM. The drive has been operating at 100% disk usage for some time now and has been moving slowly. Why do I have 100% disk usage? How can I fix this?

If your disk is constantly at 100% usage and causing your computer to slow down, there are several possible reasons for this issue:

  • High Disk Usage by Windows Update
  • Background Programs
  • Malware or Antivirus
  • Disk Fragmentation

Way 2. Check File System
