    Actually, lets run a powershell script.

    Open an elevated Powershell.

    copy and paste hit Enter.

    Code:
    # Get the top 20 processes by CPU usage and their disk read/write
    $topProcesses = Get-Process | Sort-Object CPU -Descending | Select-Object -First 20
    [HEADING=1]Retrieve disk usage information[/HEADING]
    $diskUsage = Get-CimInstance Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Process |
    Where-Object { $_.Name -ne "Total" -and $.Name -ne “Idle” } |
    Select-Object Name, IOReadBytesPerSec, IOWriteBytesPerSec
    [HEADING=1]Combine and display results[/HEADING]
    $results = foreach ($process in $topProcesses) {
    $disk = $diskUsage | Where-Object { $_.Name -like $process.ProcessName }
    [PSCustomObject]@{
    ProcessName = $process.ProcessName
    ID = $process.Id
    CPU = $process.CPU
    Memory_MB = [math]::Round($process.WorkingSet64 / 1MB, 2)
    DiskRead_KBps = if ($disk) { [math]::Round(($disk.IOReadBytesPerSec / 1KB), 2) } else { “N/A” }
    DiskWrite_KBps = if ($disk) { [math]::Round(($disk.IOWriteBytesPerSec / 1KB), 2) } else { “N/A” }
    }
    }
    [HEADING=1]Output in a formatted table[/HEADING]
    $results | Sort-Object CPU -Descending | Format-Table -AutoSize

                Actually, not the same. In your first pic the SSD is at 100%. In your 2cd pic the SSD shows 7%.

                Thanks for the video though, it gives us more to go on.

                  Its turned off. I turned it on, and it said something due to internal errors that it can’t be turned on, so I’ve got it disabled.

                  I think? I downloaded the drivers off the website and ran the install, so I’m pretty sure they’ve been ‘installed’ - although it seems they’ve failed for some reason still?

                  Sorry about that one. The SSD still spiked so i said there was no results, my bad again. Appreciate the help though :+1:t3:

                    Flush DNS
                    List last 10 Event Viewer Errors

                    Click Go. A file MTB.txt will be created in the same folder you ran the program. Upload this in your next post.[/IMG]

                        First get rid of this.
                        Driver Updater (HKLM...{90C997D4-4F19-4DB0-B21C-04F688C04685}) (Version: 9.0.33905.1030 - Avanquest)
                        These driver update programs only cause more problems. They don’t always go to the best source or grab the correct versions. I’m all for convenience and efficiency but this is not it.

                        Open an elevated command prompt

                        Type slmgr /dli

                        Take a screenshot of the Windows Script Host dialogue and add to your next reply.

                            Did your copy of Windows come with the PC or did you purchase a copy?

                            Run the Activation Troubleshooter please and report any errors please. Take a screenshot if you need to.

                                I had bought this off facebook marketplace, so I have no idea. When i got it, the pc already had windows, so I cant really say how windows was installed
