My installation of Windows 8.1 is constantly being extremely sluggish due to constant high disk usage. Doing anything, whether it be saving a file, opening a webpage, or closing programs, is very slow. My disk usage sometimes stays at %100 for quite a while. I have run a chkdsk
with the /r
option, and no errors were reported, so the disk appears to be in good condition. The problem is most severe when using Chrome. Sometimes, tabs that I already had open take a minute or so just to render. When I watch the task manager when this is happening, the Chrome disk usage spikes to %100. Is there anything else I could check? My computer is almost unusable.
Thanks!
