Hi,
My Toshiba Satellite laptop sometimes goes up to 100% disk usage for no apparent reason. It typically happens 2-3 times per day and for around 5-15 minutes each time. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing in Resource Monitor and Task Manager (side by side, respectively):
As you can see, "System" is the culprit here. So the whole "end process" thing isn't going to help me here.
This issue usually happens when I'm playing Minecraft, but not always. The apps I'm using do not appear to impact the duration or frequency of the issue at all, but if it helps I generally have Skype, Minecraft, and Google Chrome open. Sometimes, this issue occurs when I have nothing but a webpage open. Closing apps does not appear to help.
My laptop's otherwise in great shape; I treat it well, update whenever it asks me to, browse carefully, etc. This has been a problem since I bought it a year ago and has neither improved nor gotten worse.
Anyway, I spoke with someone tech-savvy about this and she said it's a "known Windows 8 issue" and that there isn't anything I can do. After several updates, however, this is still a problem. Any information would be nice, including an explanation of exactly what this mysterious "System" is doing.
Thanks in advance!
