Windows 10 100% Disk usage bug since October update

[AnthraXFPS]

Hey gingers

So I updated my Pc 2 nights ago, and it began running slowly, I have 5 hard drives in my computer and it seemed like the drive that stores my recordings music etc was constantly pinned at 100% Disk usage in task manager, it got to the point I couldn't open the drive, anyway this issue has been reported by a number of people and there is a easy way around it:

Open task manager
Click the services tab
Scroll down to Superfetch and Disable it
Restart your pc and it should now be resolved

You can also go through the process of disabling it permanently through Regedit but I don't recommend this if you're not sure what you're messing with (this can really screw ones system up)

If you're wondering what Supershit I mean Superfetch is, it carried over from VISTA (ffs) and was a way of telling your pc to read stuff from faster available memory IE Ram instead of the cache on the harddrive with is alot slower, it was designed for people using office computers/schools that didn't have any oomph behind them, to a gamer it's pointless, was also known has Prefetch in the day.

Anyway after all that stay ginger

Samvo had that issue last night, try clicking name at the top see if that helps, if that fails click open services at the bottom and you should find it in there, if that fails I'll talk you through the Regedit way.
