Windows 10 disk usage 100% solution

Since the release of win7 system, disk fragmentation has been getting farther and farther away from us, many people occasionally clean up one or two disk fragments. The same is true for Win8/Win8.1 after win7 and now the latest win10. However, this convenience has brought other troubles, that is, the disk occupancy rate is high. On a computer equipped with Windows8/Windows 8.1/Windows10 system, the disk occupancy rate is 50% or even 100%. This not only makes the computer run slow, but it also causes some damage.

How to solve this problem? There are still a lot of methods, so let's share some of them. After testing, it is really effective, so that everyone can get rid of the trouble of high computer disk usage.

1. The ultimate solution is to use an SSD solid state drives to solve all problems

2. virtual memory (caution, may cause unknown problems, 8GB RAM or above recommended users try)

Win8/8.1 turns on virtual memory by default, and it dumps some of the application's memory to the hard disk to avoid the use of physical memory. The low-end computer turns on virtual memory, which can improve the running efficiency, but it also brings the burden on the hard disk. If the user's physical memory is 4GB or even 8GB, you can try to reduce the virtual memory, but it is better not to be lower than 2048MB.

Right click on “this computer", click “properties", click “Advanced System Settings"“Set"““Advanced", then click on the virtual memory column &ldquo ;Change”Assign virtual memory as needed

3.IPv6

Under Win8/8.1, IPv6 is enabled by default, and the hard disk usage is high. It has some responsibility. Therefore, users who do not use IPv6 are advised to turn it off.

Open the Network and Sharing Center, click on the "Change Adapter Configuration" button in the upper left corner, select the NIC you are using, right click, and then click "Attributes", the slider pulls down to find IPV6 The option is turned off.

4.Windows Defender

Windows Defender scans the hard disk regularly. In the past version, this feature could be turned off, but after updating Win10 Preview 9860, it could not turn off the periodic scanning function, resulting in The hard disk usage rate is high and the system is stuck. Users can try to use Group Policy to limit Defender's scheduled scan or turn off Defender to solve the problem.

Enter gpedit.msc in the search bar to open the Group Policy Editor, navigate to “Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Defender - Scanning “ in the specified different days of the week running plan Scan & rdquo;Configure to “Enabled”Select settings based on the content in the help. Or turn it off directly in the Windows Defender settings internal management options.

5.Windows Search

For older computers, Windows Search uses a lot of system resources and can be turned off. But the negative effect is that you can't use smart search, you will lose a good integration experience in Win8 or Win10.

6. Family Groups

Family groups are one of the reasons for occupying hard drives. Some users have reported that the hard disk usage rate has dropped from 90% to 10% after the family group is turned off, but this method may not solve the problem for users who have not joined the home group.

Enter services.msc in Windows search, find “HomeGoup Listener” and “HomeGroup Provider” two services, right click to enter "properties", stop running and set the startup type to "ld"; Disable ”.

Users need to use the above methods with caution. After testing, I found that "Windows Defender" can be effectively turned off in the "Win10 preview version 9860”", but it must be used with caution, because it is very likely because Defender cannot be reopened for various reasons. Turning off or reducing virtual memory can cause unknown system problems, such as the disappearance of thumbnails when the settings are correct.

After knowing these methods, find out which method is right for your computer. Let the high disk usage rate of the computer become a thing of the past, and let your love machine become alive again and enjoy the unusual feeling. .
