How To Fix Disk Usage Always 100% in Windows

I recently installed windows 8.1 on my system. After a while I noticed that the disk usage in task manager was stuck at 100% all the time. I knew this was a problem. I checked the fix for the problem online. Tried many tips but it didn't seem to work. But, after constant trying a solution work.
I don't know if the same will work on your system, but may work.
Here are two ways you can try!



Increasing Virtual Memory

- Go to control panel (category mode)
- Select System and security
- In the new page, select System
- Select Advanced system settings in the page that comes up
- Select the Advanced tab
- Under performance, click settings
- Select Advanced tab, and there you will find Virtual Memory
- Select Change
- Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives
- Select your windows drive (where OS is installed)
Click on Custom button
- Set Initial size equivalent to your RAM size in MB
- Set Maximum size to twice of your RAM size in MB
- Click on Set
- Click on OK
- Restart the system.

Disable Superfetch and Others

- Use Windows+R 
- Enter services.msc  in the box, Services page will open up.
- Find Superfetch and right click on it and select properties
- Select Startup Type Disabled and click Ok





Hopefully the above fixes solves the problem. It might be the case that you have bad programs or drivers installed.
