My new Asus Zen AiO running Windows 10 has been on 100% disk usage constantly to the point that it is impossible to use the PC at all.
I have googled and run all these, which only improved slightly:
Settings > Notifications & actions and turning everything off
Virtual Memory under Advanced System Settings, set to zero
Disable windows update
Disable Print spooler
delete temp files C:\windows\temp
Executed these under a batch file:
net.exe stop sysmain (Stop superfetch)
net.exe stop "Windows search"
chkdsk.exe /f /r
sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
reinstall Chrome
reinstall Windows 10 and update to the latest 20H2 with latest patches.
Finally, I use msconfig and disable every service I think is not critical. Now system (ntoskrnl.exe) only hit 100% disk usage once in a while, but it's still quite frustrating that Windows keep pausing once in a while because of this.
What actually is the kernel trying to do???
