    long time lurker first post lol smth is choking my PC... loading screens take forever, textures pop in late, and a flight sim stutters constantly. task Manager:

    Disk 0 (C:) Active time 100%

    Disk 0 (C:)   Active time 100%
Not responding

    100% disk, and teh response time numbers look scary. i suspect a cloud sync app, but Im not sure how to prove it.

    i already restarted the PC and closed everything i could find in the system tray. disk usage dropped for a moment, then went straight back up as soon as teh game loaded a new area. seriously need help here 馃槶

    lol same thing happened to me SSDs slow down dramatically when nearly full. Keep at least 10-20% free space. Also check that TRIM is enabled: fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify should return 0.

    if the game is on a hard drive, thats often the main issue. modern open-world games stream assets constantly and expect SSD speeds. moving the game to an SSD usually removes this kind of stutter completely. worked for me anyway 馃し

    ehh id not disable Windows Update or antivirus completely. Scheduling them and adding game folder exclusions gets u the benefit without the risk. just my 2 cents
