lately open task manager found host always used up 99% disk usage, how to deal with Windows 10 disk usage 99%?

sometime memory swap files also 99% and gave warning to close application that I just only open IE browser

mostly because the HDD has encountered some bad sectors...

And yes, the HDD is dying, so better backup and replace it....

well some time windows background operations or windows update might be the issue. check and see which app taking the most disk usage with task manager. SSD is the solution if you want to minimize this.

here what I did, I reset install windows 10 after cant shut down properly of course there an error on the disk already since 100% usage made windows lag and not responding and the repair drive fail, yup wipe out other application but keep the files in reset.
when done reset to new windows, not much hog on hard drive usage, only thing is windows update will do 99% of usage after that back to normal

Use 3rd party software to scan your HDD health.
If you HDD health is bad, it's time to replace.
Would suggest you go for SSD instead HDD, you can feel huge performance differences.

so far after reset windows not much hog on hard disk but only windows update will cause 99% of disk usage after it done return to normal, even for SSD cant run away from 99% of usage when windows do update which is complain in other windows technical forum and other forum I search
