This problem has persisted for about a month. The Disk usage stays at 100% in Task Manager for a while whenever I switch my laptop on, slowing down the system and making it very unresponsive. It then goes away and the usage drops to 0 - 30% levels.
Occasional peaks occur when opening up programs like illustrator or playing GTA V and other games. But logging in is a hassle because of the slowed down login screen. Windows Explorer seems to crash, because notifications the pop up in the lower third right
stay there, and cannot be made to go away, resulting in me having to restart.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-6500U @ 2.50Ghz
