Performance :: Disk Checking At Startup
Dec 31, 2015
I have been using Windows 10 for a while now with no issues, I currently have three HDD's installed in the PC, one that's used to boot windows, a secondary 250GB for extra storage and a 1TB drive to storestream movies from.I was aware my 1TB HDD was not 100% as it came out of a faulty NAS drive, but after a full format it worked perfectly for over a year with Windows 7, but after the 10 upgrade it would completely disappear after a certain period of time, this was resolved by changing the power options to stop Windows turning off the disk.
Now i'm faced with Windows trying to perform a repair on the hard drive at boot, which takes ages to complete and boot windows, then after a restart it does the same which is frustrating.Question is how do i turn off this disk checking feature in Windows 10?For the mean time i have unplugged the HDD and all is working as normal, but obviously i would like to be able to use it and use other software to check the disk.

I just installed win 10 last day, and it was going fine, no conflicts on the drivers whatsoever. But after a day, when I booted up, it seems to have slowed down to a point that everything does not respond to my inputs, though it does after a couple of minutes, i check the task manager and it shows that the disk usage is high, the r/w speed show high utilization about 10-40mbps and the active time is 100%? I have read some thread and suggested to turn off superfetch and prefetch but that didn't do a thing to me. Btw, I installed it over win 8.1 using a bootable usb.

My PC performance with Windows 10 is very good except when it isn't
One of the things that is perplexing me is that my external hard drives seem to be impacting my startup performance. Following start up Task Manager performance tab shows one of my external drives (G) working at nearly 100% and the noisy disk drive suggests that it is working hard. The disk transfer rate also indicates movement between the PC and the drive. This is despite Drive G being used only as a storage/backup device with no automated actions configured. Yesterday Drive G became very hot as a result.
If I disconnect Drive G, my second external hard drive Drive F takes its place and task manager shows the same activity as previously shown on G. If both drives are connected F shows no activity.

I'm facing a problem with the task manager. Suddenly both of my HDs stopped showing any activity in the task manager and are constantly show 0% although there is activity and despite the fact that in the resource monitor activity is shown properly. What the fault might be?
I think they've stopped after I connected an external HD. But I am not sure though so don't rely on that being the issue.

Windows 10 Disk Usage is 100% Its so slow that its unusable for me. I tried startup repair with and without the CD and it fails with the Log saying its due to an incompatible OS. Note: I can only use my PC in safe mode and I just recently upgraded from Windows 7 a few months ago.

I am running Windows 10 Pro. Over the last couple of days, for some reason, the OS reports 100% disk usage, even when no application is apparently running. It was quite alright a few days ago, but troublesome over the past 2 days. I had assumed it was running some background task, and would become normal, but the abnormally high disk usage persists even after the machine has been running for half an hour.
In this period, no Windows updates were installed, and only a scheduled checkpoint was created 4 days ago. If I try and restore to the checkpoint during boot, I get an error, saying the PC needs to be repaired. If I try it from the recovery option in Windows 10, it does not shut down for a restart, just keeps on the blank screen saying "Initializing restore". The entire time, according to the indication light, the disk seems busy.
I tried disabling superfetch and background intelligent transfer service, but did not work. The spike in disk usage is not specific to anything, sometimes it is the system, other times the malware service...
I do not wish to reset the laptop, as I had quite a few things installed, but I do not have the installation media for those anymore, and so would not be able to install them again after the reset.I have the installation iso for Windows 10. The laptop is Dell 17R SE 7720. I had upgraded to Windows 10 Pro almost 2 months ago, and it had been running fine.

I was instructed to use Selective Startup to get Quicken installed (didn't work), and now I can't get out!
This is a laptop that has been stuck with the Microsoft account login (cannot fix it as other options are grayed out). I cannot login with my Microsoft login (says password is wrong), but I can get in using just the Admin. acct., with same password.
Using Admin. acct., I cannot get out of Selective Startup, most items are grayed out, or if I can select options (Enable from Disabled), then I get an error that things cannot be changed.

It's easy to disable items in the Startup tab of the Task Manager, but how do I remove the item from the list altogether?
I would like to remove SWFTP and the Realtek audio manager from the list.
I already searched everywhere in the forum. I have done it in the past, through the registry editor. But when I navigate to the key location, I don't even see those items within the registry.

We are having some performance issues at starting up laptops outside our domain. When we logging at the office booting proces takes about 10 -20 seconden. (with networkshares etc)
When outside the office so at home when we are logging in it takes about 1 minute to logging on. I have also tried it without business network shares, but that doenst solve the problem. It looks like we cant reach the domain controllers (of course) but is there a way to speed this up?
Specs:
Dell I5
8 - 16 GB memory
500 GB / 1 TB SSD
WIndows 10 pro

This is **NOT** a boot issue, the system boots up just fine and gets to the login screen fast. The issue is the system startup after login, it is takes a rather long time for Windows to become usable. I have tried stopping all NON windows services in msconfig, but this made barely any difference. Even after the system seems to have finished the startup, once I open the browser it then takes ages until it loads the first web page. If I run task manager there is nothing that is hogging the cpu or memory or disk.
I have defragged the disk, although I had to use a 3rd party tool to do this as Windows defrag refuses to do it because it thinks it is an SSD disk due to the 32GB SSD cache.

I'm troubled with the following entry in the startup of my Windows 10 Pro x64:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnce] "Uninstall %LocalAppData%Microsoft OneDrive17.3.5892.0626 amd64"="C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe /q /c rmdir /s /q "%LocalAppData%MicrosoftOneDrive17.3.5892.0626amd64""
It should be noted that the "%LocalAppData%MicrosoftOneDrive17.3.5892.0626" folder does not exist.

I upgraded my Alienware M17 to Windows 10 with no problems (knock on wood), but my girlfriends HP Envy Notebook is having some issues. Right after Windows 10 installed the first time it was fine for a few hours and then it ran an automatic update... After restarting the PC it took, literally, 10 minutes to get to the lock-out screen to sign in. After signing in everything seems to work fine. When I click restart it logs out quickly, shuts down just fine, but after the HP bios loads it goes to the blank Windows 10 screen (with the little loading dots circling) and sits there for 10 minutes before finally changing over to the sign in screen.
When I just "sign out" without restarting it also takes an equally ridiculous amount of time (8-10 minutes).At first I thought maybe I had done something bad with the registry cleaner... lol, so I did a full reset and reinstalled the OS, downloaded and installed all new drivers and everything was just fine (again) until it did an automatic upgrade... then its back to being nearly unusable.
Now, I have heard rumors that Windows 10 startup is ridiculously slow. How SLOW is slow? Like 8-10 minutes? Yes, I have enable fast startup (and hibernation) and it does nothing (yes, I know it does not work with "restart" and only "shut down").I wonder if the problem is when Windows 10 upgrades to version 1511 because it is fine before it does any auto updating. But if it keeps updating there is no point in trying to pinpoint which update it causing this.

Windows 10.10240 on a 40 GB HDD partition - required to make another 7 GB for upgrade to 10.10586. Deleted a few GB of ISO downloads and then ran Disk Clean-up for about 400MB.
So far it has taken about twice as long to do the clean up as it will to complete the upgrade, and it's only 2/3 cleaned.

I recently purchased a new Windows 10 laptop (HP), which I presumed is a 'clean install' and I'm mooching around looking into how to create a recovery disk. Anyway, when I go into control panel, underneath System and Security I see a link that says; Back up and Restore (Windows 7).I'm wondering why there's a reference to Windows 7 on my Windows 10 device?

I'm getting a constant high disk usage without even having anything running. Here's a screenshot of my problem
And well, so far I've tried the ''deactivate 'windows search' and 'superfetch''' and it hasn't really done the trick.
Also I resetted my pc yesterday, as of now I'm running a clean install of Windows 10.
Did the ''turn off notifications from Windows'' and really nothing, I've also defrag quite some times with Defraggler and DiskDefrag and nothing.

I need diagnosing why my system disk is running at 100% without anything actually running.
My Anti Virus is not doing anything, windows update is not doing anything, and my disk is not defraging.
I would have never noticed this happening if it wasn't for long load times and reduced FPS in anything 3D. My mouse and keyboard even are lagging and hanging.
My system disk is at 100% and a constant write speed of 1-2 MB/s and a constant read speed of about 200KB/s.
How to diagnose what is using my disk 100% of the time?

Since I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 (who knows when, within the week of first release) I've had a plethora of issues, and recently I found the source of the problem. My computer spikes to 100% disk usage randomly, even with nothing open and will suspend all applications on the computer. A couple of random things can set it off (sometimes when I open the "Search the web and Windows", open an application, Ctrl+Alt+Del, and ALWAYS when I boot my computer)
I've tried every. single. thing. that I have seen on the internet including but not limited to: superfetch, registry stuff, Unistack thing in task manager, Windows defender, uninstalling programs, defragmenting my 1TB Western Digital HDD even though it says 0% fragmented, cleaning up my HDD, checking if my HDD died which it hasn't, and updating my drivers, stopping all startup programs, disabling unused Windows apps, though nothing has seemed to fix the problem permanently. I also used to get this "Display driver AMD has stopped responding but has recovered" though I edited something in the registry and it doesn't show this anymore but I still experience the same problem. I'm quite fed up with this, and I'm thinking about buying Windows 7 in an attempt to downgrade.

For some reason, my disk, when i open my computer and at some other point, always spikes up to 100% for a few minutes.
This happens when :
at the start, Something called System and compressed memory always make my pc go to 100% disk usage. Later on, there are all those Service Host going up to 100% and something called RzStatsManager
When i open norton or when i download something new it also goes to 100%, each time I open google chrome too and Steam make the disk go to 100% at the start and every time i open it it goes to 20% and the system memory goes to 80%...
All these times, the disk spiked at 100% for a few minutes.
I disabled all my notification, each time i open my PC i disable Windows search and superfetch but it spikes up every time. What can I do?

I have this issue where windows seems to hang/get stuck every 5 to 10 seconds for about 2 seconds, like right now while I am typing. I type the words and about three words types out and then hangs for 2 seconds and the rest I typed while stuck gets lost and I have to backspace and restart again.... Same happens with mouse clicks, sometimes when I click it does not register (I presume it is right in that 2 sec delay sweet spot) but the mouse cursor movement is smooth and does not get stuck.
SO I checked my Task Manager and found that RAM,CPU and Network are all low in the 10% - 20%, but my HDD Runs at like 80% -100% all the time. See Screenshots of Task Manager and Resource monitor. The disk keeps getting used full load every 5 to 10 sec.
I have tried disabling Disk Defragment service in the Task Scheduler and several other tips I found on the net but no luck.

Ever since I did the fall update on my desktop, I would get frozen bars on startup. This forces me to reboot my computer.

I am trying to determine why Firefox takes 20 seconds to open. This does not happen in Safe Mode so presumably another package is causing the delay. Consequently, I wanted to start in diagnostics mode. However, as soon as I click on the button for Diagnostics startup, the blue rotating circle appears next to the mouse pointer and never advances. I checked in Services and found the Diagnostics Host Service is not running and cannot be started.

So I have a 200 GB Hard Drive on my computer. A couple of days ago I got a notification mentioning there was not ten GB of space left. I was surprised, but I assumed I just had more on it than I thought. However, since then I have re-installed Windows for my own reasons and was surprised to find despite removing all documents and applications in the re-installation, I only had 90 GB free. This leaves 110 taken up by an unknown cause. I could not find many large files in file explorer when I searched for large files (file:gigantic).
