Win7 system hard disk indicator light always seems to be non-stop reasons and solutions

  

Turn on the computer and find that the hard drive light is always flashing, and it seems that it will not stop. This happens when the hard disk is frequently read and written. This is called “hard disk killer”, which will cause the CPU usage of the computer to become higher, which will affect the running speed of the computer and seriously affect the use of the hard disk. Life, then what should we do with this hard drive flash? Let's see how it works.

Step 1 and stop the two functions to reduce the pressure on the hard disk

1. Turn off the system restore

2. Click “Computer”“Properties" ; & ldquo; system protection & rdquo;, select “ configuration & rdquo;, in the subsequent interface, select “ turn off system protection & rdquo;. The so-called system protection here is actually the automatic backup function of Win7. If you don't need to restore the system frequently, you can turn it off completely.

3, select “ turn off system protection & rdquo;

Step 2, stop the service in the control center

Press “WIN” and “ R” key, enter "lds;Services.msc" in the pop-up dialog box, click OK and we will see an interface. Win7's various system services are concentrated here, we can choose to close or open it. In this case, find “Windows Defender”, double-click, a dialog box will pop up, click “start type”, select “disable> in the drop-down menu, the entire system service will be stopped. The way Windows Search and Volume Shadow Copy are disabled is similar.

Enter “Services.msc” find “Windows Defender” on the right and double-click on the drop-down menu and select “Disable”

Step 3, Uncompress File Compression and Index
>

The purpose of file compression is to save disk space, but in fact this function does not save much hard disk space, and there is almost no practical effect. The purpose of file indexing is to allow users to find files on the hard disk faster. This function is good, but Win7 often checks the index when it is idle, causing a large number of hard disk read and write operations. For Win7 using 4G memory patch. The amount of reading and writing caused by the system is even greater, so it is necessary to cancel the file compression and indexing functions to minimize the pressure on the hard disk.

Right-click on the hard drive letter and select “Properties> on the menu. On the pop-up interface, “This drive will be compressed to save disk space” and “In addition to file attributes, It also allows indexing the contents of the file on this drive ” these two previous hooks are removed. Then click OK to exit. However, such operation recommendations are only for non-system disks, such as D, E, F disks, etc., which we use to store movies or music, and the system disk is better. Remove the hook inside the small box!

The fourth step, stop unnecessary services, reduce the pressure on the hard disk

Win7 is called "hard disk killer" system service is mainly The following three: Windows Defender, Windows Search, and Volume Shadow Copy. Windows Defender is Win7's own system protection software. The main function is to remove simple Trojans and rogue software. As long as anti-virus software is installed on the computer, it is not important. Windows Search provides an indexing service. When you search for a file on your computer, it speeds up the search, but even if you turn it off, the search speed will not be significantly affected. We don't need the Volume Shadow Copy service. The file attributes in Win7 all have a "previous version" item, and ordinary users don't need the whole function at all.

About the Win7 system, the hard disk light has not stopped working. The solution is introduced here. If you encounter the same problem, you may try these optimization methods. I hope everyone can. Helpful.
