windows 10 100% disk usage (possibly due to Windows Creators Update)

[Guest Smc_]

I have 100% disk usage on my hard drive for no reason and when I play games, even games that are on my SSDs, the loading times are a lot longer. The processes that are using 100% disk usage aren't even fast in speed but still manage to give my hard drive 100% disk usage.

 

 

I can't even open steam anymore because it instantly stops responding.

 

I have had this problem several times now over the past year, and have had several 'Level 2' and 'Level 3' official Microsoft Technicians take control of my PC in order to diagnose a fix for this previously, but they actually managed to make my PC slower by making my PC take 30 seconds to restart to make it take around 6 minutes to restart.

 

I believe that this is down to the creator's update that my PC was forced to install this time around. I have followed several guides in order to attempt to self-fix it but everything I have tried hasn't accomplished anything. I have done things like disabling Superfetch, Windows Search etc. in the registry. I personally think it's unethical to force a PC to update its version of Windows, especially one which is notorious for having issues. I am sick and tired of this problem and desperately need a solution.

 

 

I tried talking to an MS tech support but I think it's glitched as when ever I click on it the window that opens up refreshes around five times and then has an error message complaining that I couldn't sign in.

 

Does anyone have any new ideas on how to fix this?

 

 

EDIT: Originally I thought this was down to AVG as I reinstalled it, but after getting an official AVG tech support to uninstall AVG and remove all it's traces and after installing a new anti-virus this is still an issue. The AVG tech supports were claiming it was due to the fact that my C drive was almost full (there was around 2GB free) but I failed to understand as to why that would be an issue. So is it possible that is why? I have 3.41GB free and can remove another 2GB from programs I do not use but I have been very careful and only installed vital programs on my C drive, or programs that would only install itself onto the C drive.
