After approx 4 minutes of my system being idle, the program 'service host disk defragmenter' starts running using high CPU. I've disabled automatic defragmenting but it hasn't made any difference. As long as the machine is busy it doesn't run ... but after 4 minutes idle, it kicks in. This is a real pain as it means I'm having difficulty watching anything on Netflix, IPlayer etc. Clearly my system is not recognising that there is activity at these times, therefore the defragmenting begins and the CPU usage sky rockets and my fan goes nuts trying to cope. I'm at a complete loss re how to fix this issue. Could someone offer some help? Thanks.
