Hey everyone! I've been noticing that my PC has been super slow lately. When I check the Task Manager, it shows that my disk usage is at 100%. I'm pretty sure this is what's causing the slowness. I've attached a screenshot of the Task Manager for a better look. I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how to speed up my PC or reduce the disk usage. Thanks!

It looks like you're using a traditional spinning hard drive for your main storage, while you have an SSD as a secondary drive. That setup can slow things down, especially with newer versions of Windows. Have you checked if you're downloading updates in the background? That could explain the high disk usage. Also, it might help to use the SSD for your OS and keep the HDD for files or less demanding programs. If possible, try connecting via ethernet for better network performance, too!
Yeah, my main drive has always been the HDD running Windows 10 and hasn’t had this issue until now. I mainly got the SSD for games. My internet is also not the best; it’s an old network card, and there's a Windows update that just won’t install.
