Hi there, I encountered a problem a few weeks ago after I refreshed my laptop when it started refreshing the desktop constantly to the point where I couldn't do anything. After the refresh, the desktop was back to normal, though I noticed my disk usage in the task manager was constantly at 100%. I've been troubleshooting this problem by upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1, I've run chkdsk.exe /f /r, I defragged the disk, ran a virus scan, etc. The only thing that helps this is disabling the service 'superfetch' and/or 'Windows search', though the problem can still arise after doing so. Every now and then the disk usage goes back to it's regular 2-8% but then randomly shoots back up to 70-85-99-100%. It's causing some occasional slowdown and I have no idea what the fix is.
Here's a screen cap of my resource monitor when it's at 100%:
And here are the specs of my laptop:
-Model: Acer Aspire V5-552
-CPU: AMD Quad-Core A10-5757M @2.5GHz
-RAM: 6GB DDR3 Memory
-HDD: 1000GB
-OS: Windows 8.1
Please help me resolve this as it's driving me nuts trying to fix this once and for all.
Thank you in advance.
