I recently built a new PC about two weeks ago, and I've noticed that my disk usage is consistently around 98-100%. I'm using a hard drive with 2TB of space, and I'm looking for any fixes or advice to solve this issue. Thanks in advance for your help!

First, let’s start with some basic checks. How large is your hard drive? Windows has minimum storage requirements, so if it’s close to that, it might cause issues. Also, have you tried running Disk Cleanup to free up some space? That often helps to reduce high disk usage.
Honestly, check your task manager and see what processes are using the disk. Sometimes, background programs like Windows Update or antivirus scans can hog resources. You may need to tweak some settings or limit those processes.
If you've got a spinning hard drive (HDD), they are usually slower compared to SSDs. If you’re constantly hitting 100%, consider upgrading to an SSD in the future for a better experience. Also, make sure that your drivers are up to date; out-of-date drivers can cause a lot of performance issues.
