Nedavno sam pisao o rješavanju problema sa zamrzavanjem sustava Windows 10,^{(roubleshooting Windows 10 freezing issues)} a u ovom ću postu govoriti o rješavanju još jednog prilično uobičajenog problema, a to je korištenje diska koje cijelo vrijeme pokazuje 100%. Primijetio sam da je ovo stanje posebno istinito na prijenosnim računalima.

Obično će se korištenje diska popeti do ili blizu 100% na nekoliko sekundi ili čak nekoliko minuta, ali onda bi se trebalo smiriti na nešto razumnije (obično ispod 10%). Ako stalno vidite vrlo visoku upotrebu diska, to znači da se još nešto događa što nije sasvim u redu.

Prije nego što se upustimo u to, svakako provjerite i naš YouTube kanal gdje smo snimili kratki video^{(short video)} koji opisuje neke od stavki o kojima govorimo u nastavku i pokazuje vam korake na Windows PC-u.

Provjerite korištenje diska u sustavu Windows 10

Za početak, možete provjeriti korištenje diska tako da otvorite Upravitelj zadataka^{(Task Manager)} u sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} . Možete kliknuti desnom tipkom miša na gumb Start i odabrati Upravitelj zadataka^{(Task Manager)} ili možete pritisnuti CTRL + SHIFT + ESC . Ako vidite samo mali popis aplikacija, kliknite Više pojedinosti^{(More details)} pri dnu.

Na glavnoj kartici Procesi^(Processes) vidjet ćete brzi pregled korištenja CPU -a , memorije^(Memory) , diska^(Disk) i mreže^(Network) . Za mene, osim ako ne radim nešto na računalu, korištenje diska je obično točno oko 0. U lošem slučaju, vidjet ćete nešto poput dolje gdje je korištenje diska 100% ili vrlo blizu njega.

U nekim slučajevima možete vidjeti samo jedan proces koji uzrokuje veliku upotrebu diska, ali u drugim slučajevima, proces koji uzrokuje skok može se promijeniti.

Sada razgovarajmo o tome kako možemo utvrditi što uzrokuje problem, a zatim doći do rješenja. U nekim slučajevima rješenje je jednostavno, au drugima malo teže. Prije nego što uđemo u njih, evo što ne biste trebali činiti.

Nemojte isprobavati ova rješenja

Na webu sam naišao na gomilu rješenja koja mi se jednostavno nisu složila jer kasnije mogu uzrokovati još problema. Pokušajte izbjeći bilo što navedeno u nastavku:

1. Onemogućavanje usluge BITS^{(Disabling the BITS service)} – Windows zahtijeva da bi se vaše računalo ažuriralo i neće pomoći ako je onemogućite.
2. Onemogućavanje Windows Search ili Superfetcha^{(Disabling Windows Search or Superfetch)} – Ovo su opet^(Again) osnovne Windows usluge i ne biste ih trebali onemogućiti.
3. Promjena datoteke stranice^{(Modifying Page File)} – trebali biste je ostaviti tako da Windows upravlja datotekom stranice. Ne^(Don) pokušavajte prilagođene vrijednosti.
4. Onemogućavanje Windows Defendera^{(Disabling Windows Defender)} – osim metode 6^{(Method 6)} , nemojte onemogućiti Defender .

Metoda 1 ^{(Method 1)} – Nadogradite firmver^{(– Upgrade Firmware)} za SSD -ove^(SSDs)

Ako imate SSD instaliran na vašem računalu i imate problema s korištenjem diska, najvjerojatnije je problem s firmverom. SSD^(SSDs) -ovi su brzi i osim ako imate neki program koji cijelo vrijeme pristupa disku, on stvarno nikada ne bi trebao biti na 100% dulje od nekoliko sekundi.

Evo nekoliko poveznica na ažuriranja firmvera SSD -a za neke od glavnih marki: ^(SSD)Crucial , Samsung , Kingston , Intel , OWC .

Metoda 2 – Izvedite čisto pokretanje

Ako nikada niste izvodili čisto podizanje sustava, sada je vrijeme da naučite. Čisto pokretanje u osnovi učitava Windows s najmanje upravljačkih programa i programa za pokretanje. Čisto pokretanje pomoći će vam da utvrdite je li problem uzrokovan samim sustavom Windows^(Windows) ili programom treće strane instaliranim u sustavu Windows^(Windows) .

Microsoft ima sjajan članak o tome kako izvesti čisto pokretanje^{(how to perform a clean boot)} . Preporučam da ga isprobate jer obično rješava i mnoge druge probleme. To je malo dugotrajno, ali je potpuno vrijedno truda. Samo^(Just) odvojite nekoliko sati na vikend da to učinite.

Ako ustanovite da se sve dobro učitava pri čistom pokretanju, polako omogućite svaki program pokretanja jedan po jedan dok ne utvrdite koji program uzrokuje usporavanje. Zatim ga možete deinstalirati ili onemogućiti. Za početak, uvijek počnite tako da onemogućite bilo koji antivirusni/anti-malware program treće strane jer ti programi mogu imati tendenciju pristupa disku cijelo vrijeme.

Na internetskim forumima čuo sam da se mnogi ljudi žale da je Skype uzrok porasta korištenja diska. Stoga pokušajte deinstalirati Skype i provjeriti radi li to.

Metoda 3 – Nadogradnja memorije (RAM)

Još jedna stvar koju želite provjeriti je da vidite koliko RAM-a^(RAM) imate instalirano na vašem računalu. Budući da Windows 10 može raditi na starijim uređajima, vidio sam da ga mnogi ljudi instaliraju na stara stolna i prijenosna računala. To je u redu, ali morate biti sigurni da uređaj ima pristojnu količinu RAM-a^(RAM) , što znači ništa manje od 4 GB.

Također možete otvoriti Task Manager i kliknuti na Performanse^{(Performance)} , a zatim kliknite na Memorija^(Memory) .

Kao što vidite, imam 16 GB memorije i oko 6 GB je u upotrebi. To znači da ako na računalu imate 4 GB RAM-a , sva memorija bi bila iscrpljena. ^(RAM)Sve što se ne može smjestiti u memoriju prebacuje se na tvrdi disk. Dakle , Windows će u osnovi koristiti vaš tvrdi disk kao privremeni memorijski uređaj.

Ako imate puno podataka koji se moraju zapisati na disk, to će uzrokovati porast korištenja diska i usporavanje vašeg računala. Ako primijetite da je linija na ovom grafikonu blizu vrha, to znači da vjerojatno trebate nadograditi RAM na računalu.

Metoda 4 ^{(Method 4)} – Koristite plan napajanja visokih performansi^{(– Use High Performance Power Plan)}

Kod nekih računala tvrdi diskovi su pametni i pokušat će se isključiti ili promijeniti broj okretaja^(RPM) radi uštede energije. Jedan primjer su zeleni/plavi tvrdi diskovi Western Digital . Zvuči kao sjajna značajka, ali mislim da u praksi ne funkcionira baš najbolje.

Da biste izbjegli ovaj problem, idite na Mogućnosti napajanja^{(Power Options)} i odaberite plan napajanja visokih performansi . ^{(High Performance)}Osim toga, kliknite Promjena postavki plana,^{(Change plan settings)} a zatim proširite Isključi tvrdi disk nakon^{(Turn off hard disk after)} i postavite minute na 0 .

To će osigurati da se tvrdi disk neće isključiti ili preći u stanje niske potrošnje energije, što može uzrokovati problem s korištenjem diska.

Metoda 5 – Onemogućite MSI način rada

Ovo rješenje je nejasnije i vjerojatno neće pomoći većini ljudi, ali vrijedno je spomenuti jer je Microsoft izričito naveo da je to problem u sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} . U osnovi, to ima neke veze s AHCI , što je tehnički žargon koji ne morate znati.

Kada imate ovaj problem, Disk Usage će pokazati 100%, ali kada sortirate stupac, ne postoji nijedan program ili proces koji pokazuje veliku upotrebu diska. Ovdje možete pročitati Microsoftov KB članak^{(Microsoft KB article here)} i pokušati popraviti.

Metoda 6 ^{(Method 6)} – Onemogućite Windows Defender s ^{(– Disable Windows Defender)}AV^{(Party AV)} -om treće strane

Prema zadanim postavkama, Windows Defender bi se trebao isključiti ako imate instaliran antivirus treće strane na vašem sustavu. Međutim, u nekim se slučajevima to ne događa i pokretanje dva antivirusna programa u isto vrijeme može uzrokovati prekomjernu upotrebu diska i hrpu drugih problema.

Da biste provjerili je li Windows Defender onemogućen ili ne, kliknite Start , zatim Postavke^(Settings) , Ažuriranje i sigurnost^{(Update & Security)} i zatim Windows Defender . Provjerite jesu li zaštita u stvarnom vremenu^{(Real-Time protection)} i zaštita temeljena na ^{( Cloud-based Protection)}oblaku^(Off) isključene .

Opet, trebali biste to učiniti SAMO ako imate instaliran antivirus treće strane na vašem sustavu.

Metoda 7^{(Method 7)} - Onemogućite obavijesti sustava Windows

Ovo rješenje je široko rasprostranjeno na Internetu^(Internet) , ali nisam siguran da li stvarno radi ili ne. Vjerujem da radi za određene verzije sustava Windows 10 . U svakom slučaju, ne škodi ga onemogućiti, pa ću ga zato i spomenuti.

U osnovi, onemogućujete dodatne obavijesti sustava Windows^(Windows) koje su u osnovi reklame. Idite na Postavke^(Settings) , zatim kliknite na Sustav^(System) , a zatim na Obavijesti i radnje^{( Notifications and Actions)} . Jednostavno isključite Dobivanje savjeta, trikova i prijedloga dok koristite Windows^{(Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows)} .

Vrijedi napomenuti da će sve vaše uobičajene obavijesti raditi sasvim dobro, samo nećete vidjeti beskorisne od Microsofta^(Microsoft) .

Metoda 8 ^{(Method 8)} – Provjerite ima li na tvrdom disku^{(– Check Hard Disk)} grešaka

Ako ništa od navedenog ne radi, onda biste zapravo mogli imati problema s tvrdim diskom. Postoji nekoliko načina da provjerite ispravnost vašeg tvrdog diska, o čemu sam već pisao.

Provjerite disk i sistemske datoteke

Provjerite ima li na tvrdom disku grešaka^{(Check Hard Drive for Errors)}

U mnogim slučajevima, popravak grešaka na disku riješio je problem. U drugim slučajevima, zamjena pogona bila je neophodna.

Nadamo se da će jedno od gore navedenih rješenja raditi za vas. Posljednja opcija je izvođenje čiste instalacije sustava Windows 10^{(perform a clean install of Windows 10)} , što će riješiti problem za svakoga tko ima instaliran zlonamjerni softver na svojim sustavima, a možda ga i ne zna. Ako imate pitanja, slobodno komentirajte. Uživati!

Troubleshoot 100% Disk Usage in Windows 10

I recently wrоte about troubleshooting Windows 10 freezing issues and in this post I’ll be talking about troubleshooting another fairly common issue, which is disk usage showing 100% all the time. I’ve noticed that this condition is especially true on laptops.

Normally, the disk usage will go up to or close to 100% for a few seconds or even for a couple of minutes, but then should settle down to something more reasonable (usually under 10%). If you consistently see a very high disk usage, it means there is something else going on that isn’t quite right.

Before we get into it, make sure to check out our YouTube channel also where we made a short video going over some of the items we talk about below and showing you the steps on a Windows PC.

Check Disk Usage in Windows 10

To start, you can check your disk usage by opening up the Task Manager in Windows 10. You can either right-click on the Start button and select Task Manager or you can press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC. If you just see a small list of apps, click on More details at the bottom.

On the main Processes tab, you’ll see a quick overview of the CPU, Memory, Disk and Network utilization. For me, unless I’m doing something on the computer, the disk usage is normally right around 0. In a bad case, you’ll see something like below where disk usage is 100% or very close to it.

In some cases, you might see just one process that is causing the high disk usage, but in other instances, the process that is causing the spike may change.

Now let’s talk about how we can determine what is causing the issue and then come up with a solution. In some cases, the solution is easy and in others, it’s a bit trickier. Before we get into those, here’s what you shouldn’t do.

Don’t Try These Solutions

On the web, I came across a whole bunch of solutions that just didn’t settle well with me because they can cause more problems later on. Try to avoid doing anything listed below:

1. Disabling the BITS service – It’s required by Windows for your PC to be updated and it won’t help disabling it.
2. Disabling Windows Search or Superfetch – Again these are core Windows services and you should not disable them.
3. Modifying Page File – You should leave it so that Windows manages the page file. Don’t try custom values.
4. Disabling Windows Defender – Except for Method 6, don’t disable Defender.

Method 1 – Upgrade Firmware for SSDs

If you have an SSD installed on your machine and are having the disk usage problem, it’s most likely a problem with the firmware. SSDs are fast and unless you have some program that is accessing the disk all the time, it really should never be at 100% for more than a few seconds.

Here are a couple of links to the SSD firmware updates for some of the major brands: Crucial, Samsung, Kingston, Intel, OWC.

Method 2 – Perform a Clean Boot

If you have never performed a clean boot, now is the time to learn. A clean boot basically loads Windows with the fewest drivers and startup programs. A clean boot will help you determine whether the issue is being caused by Windows itself or by a third-party program installed on Windows.

Microsoft has a great article on how to perform a clean boot. I recommend trying it because is usually fixes a lot of other issues too. It’s a bit time-consuming, but totally worth the effort. Just set aside a few hours on a weekend to get it done.

If you find that everything loads fine on a clean boot, then slowly enable each startup program one by one until you determine which program is causing the slowdown. You can then uninstall it or disable it. For starters, always start by disabling any third-party anti-virus/anti-malware program as those programs can have a tendency to access the disk all the time.

In online forums, I’ve heard a lot of people complain that Skype was the cause of the disk usage spike. So try uninstalling Skype and see if that works.

Method 3 – Upgrade Memory (RAM)

Another thing you want to check is to see how much RAM you have installed on your machine. Since Windows 10 can run on older devices, I’ve seen a lot of people install it on old desktops and laptops. This is fine, but you need to make sure the machine has a decent amount of RAM, meaning nothing less than 4 GB.

You can also open Task Manager and click on Performance and then click on Memory.

As you can see, I have 16 GB of memory and about 6 GB is in use. This means if you have 4 GB of RAM on your computer, all the memory would be exhausted. Everything that can’t be fit into memory is paged to the hard disk. So basically Windows will use your hard disk as a temporary memory device.

If you have a lot of data that has to be written to disk, it will cause your disk usage to spike and your computer to slow down. If you notice that the line in this graph is close to the top, then it means you probably need to upgrade the RAM on the computer.

Method 4 – Use High Performance Power Plan

With some computers, the hard drives are smart and will try to power down or change RPM to save power. One example is the green/blue Western Digital hard drives. It sounds like a great feature, but I don’t think it really works all the well in practice.

To avoid this problem, go to Power Options and select the High Performance power plan. In addition, click on Change plan settings and then expand Turn off hard disk after and set the minutes to 0.

This will ensure that the hard disk does not power down or go into the low power state, which can cause the disk usage problem.

Method 5 – Disable MSI Mode

This solution is more obscure and probably won’t help most people, but it’s worth mentioning because Microsoft has specifically stated that this is an issue in Windows 10. Basically, it has something to do with AHCI, which is technical jargon you don’t need to know.

When you have this issue, Disk Usage will show 100%, but when you sort the column, there isn’t any particular program or process that is showing high disk usage. You can read the Microsoft KB article here and attempt the fix.

Method 6 – Disable Windows Defender with 3rd Party AV

By default, Windows Defender should disable itself if you have third-party anti-virus installed on your system. However, in some instances, this does not happen and running two anti-virus programs at the same time can cause excessive disk usages and a bunch of other problems.

To check if Windows Defender is disabled or not, click on Start, then Settings, Update & Security and then Windows Defender. Make sure Real-Time protection and Cloud-based Protection are turned Off.

Again, you should ONLY do this if you have third-party anti-virus installed on your system.

Method 7 – Disable Windows Notifications

This solution has been widely distributed on the Internet, but I’m not sure whether it really works or not. I believe it does for certain versions of Windows 10. Anyway, it doesn’t really hurt to disable it, so that’s why I’m going to mention it.

Basically, you disable extra Windows notifications that are basically advertisements. Go to Settings, then click on System, and then Notifications and Actions. Simply turn off the Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows.

It’s worth noting that all your normal notifications will work just fine, you just won’t see any useless ones from Microsoft.

Method 8 – Check Hard Disk for Errors

If nothing above is working, then you could actually have a problem with your hard drive. There are several ways to check the health of your hard drive, which I’ve written about before.

Check Disk and System Files

Check Hard Drive for Errors

In many instances, repairing errors on the drive fixed the problem. In other instances, replacing the drive was necessary.

Hopefully, one of the above solutions will work for you. One last resort option is to perform a clean install of Windows 10, which will fix the problem for anyone who happens to have malware installed on their systems and maybe don’t know it. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
