[designbetter]

does anyone know the best way to solve this type of problem? or how to diagnose this problem? or the most common reasons for why it happens?

* happens on startup and just randomly from time to time

* solves by itself randomly

* the performance mointer thingy shows it's not any of programs cos none of them are high at all

been happening for like... i don't know whenever win10 first came out, i just never asked and could never find an answer

Task Manager ------> Performance -------> Open Resource manager (bottom of window) -------> Disk

This should give you more information to track down what is consuming the Disk bandwidth.

Also recommend running a scan with Malwarebytes and your AV just in case you picked up a Virus or malware. Or your hard drive could be in need of replacement.

My daughter's laptop had this issue and it was just the older slower drive that was installed. Swapped it out with a much faster SSD and she has been happy!
