Wrong display of disk usage

This is where it started getting wrong. I used Winclone 3 to try to make a bootcamp image. Then I found out I didn't need that, so I clicked "move to trash" to delete the image file like what one would do to a normal file. However, it took longer than usual to carry out the "empty trash" process after I clicked "empty trash" (I guess I wasnt aware that a large image file indeed should take longer than usual to be emptied), so I stop the process by clicking the cross in the processing window. But, that didn't seem going right either and it hanged. Only thing I could do is to restart the computer even though it said the emptying process is still in progress. So I force quit finder and it successfully reboot. Although then the trash seemed empty, the disk usage wasn't looking good because when I removed some big movie files (tens of GB, eg. 57GB, 11GB), the disk usage isnt' changing. More importantly, when looking at the capture above, the used space of "Other" of the Macintosh HD is ZERO KB, which made me really think if deleteing the winclone image file had messed up something badly....
ps I went into the recovery disk and did reparing disk and permission after the weird encounter while deleting the winclone image. Here is the log from the disk utility:

The result was good after entering the recovery HD to did the repair. However, the disk usage issue remained..

I reckon reindexing the volume can help correct the disk usage display issue? I highly appreciate your help here!
But a rather weird side note to what had just happened.
Since I posted the question up, I'd been constantly searching for solutions and looking at the HDDs (internal and external), trying to sum up what might have gone wrong by checking the space taken up. But for a long while, I left my laptop plugged with the Time Machine for a coupld of hours untouched. When I came back and continued my search, I realized suddenly the disk space had updated itself. All the mass delete of files and space change is shown now - which is all before I reindexed the system. What a weird time gap the system takes to correct things. Now things seemed alright.
Looking at the Daisydisk analysis. I concluded that it was a almost half size of mobilebackup that ate up the HDD space (~2xxGB). Now the analysis showed that big mobilebackup trunk is gone.

Disk Usage stuck at 100%, Factory installed windows 8 running like a turtle not being able to use my laptop. What should i do?

I have a HP Pavillion Sleekbook 15-b002ee with Third generation core i5 processor 1.7 GHz, 500 GB Hard disk and 4 GB of RAM installed. Windows 8 came pre installed on it.
I bought this laptop 11 months ago and it worked fine for 10 months and then from the last month its presenting unusual problems. My disk usage is stuck at 100% and the laptop freezes and never lets me work or do anything. Heres what i have already done
to solve the issue but have been unsuccessful:
1) I have reset my PC completely and reinstalled windows 8 using the factory setup. Didnt solve the issue, newly installed windows displays the disk usage 100% and the performance is same i.e the system freezes.
2) I have tried adjusting my paging file, no change made a difference to the performance of my laptop. The default system managed Paging file size is something around 3.89 Gb. Does my problem have anything to do with my paging file?
3) I have tried solving this issue by disabling the "Windows Search" and "Superfetch" services and still it didnt solve the problem.
4) I have also run checkdisk on my hard drive completely. It took me a complete day to do so but still no change.
5) Before resetting my laptop, an error called "Kernel_data_inpage(http.sys)" used to come on my upgraded windows 8.1. Whats the issue?
So what should i do? Is there any problem with my hardware? Is my hard drive having bad sectors and is that causing the problem? Or is there any other technical problem which i couldnt yet find out?
I have explained my problem in a lot detail and i would like a clear answer please, i have been at this issue for many days and this forum seems like the last place where i can find relevant answer because Google isnt helping.
Thanks in advance.

Ask here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/.
This web site is for help in writing software and you are not planing in doing that. In the future, look around to see what others are saying before posting to a forum. If you can not understand what others are saying most likely you are in the wrong
forum, and chances. are your questions will be ignored .
If you are looking for help on a particular Microsoft product, start your search from support.microsoft.com instead of going to a random Microsoft forum. But since you got a HP laptop, chances are you have software prompted by HP as well, like antivirus/printer
applications etc, so better ask HP first.

High disk usage/high memory usage.

i keep getting high memory usage and high disk usage in ps cs6.
its slow when i open a file. how can i solve this problem.
thank you.
philip.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but more than what? More RAM is almost always better, but you haven't answered most of the questions posed here. The answer might be different if you have 2 GB of RAM or 32 GB of RAM already. A 9 megapixel document could get rather large with a lot of layers, but again you've neglected to give any hard info about its size.
Regarding your video card, that's a bit of a judgment call you need to make. For Photoshop CS6 I currently advise people to try to get a video card that gets a score of 1000 or better on this benchmark: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Video card speed will matter when you're editing those 3D components and video card VRAM will also matter, but possibly even more importantly your GeForce 320 is a bit old, and nVidia may just not be doing their best driver work for it any more.
Everything in general will run more smoothly with a powerful modern video card. I like to recommend a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 7750 - or if the computer power supply and your budget allow, the even more powerful 7850. VisionTek does a very good job with their hardware, IMO, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Keep in mind that if you switch from nVidia to ATI or vice versa, you should carefully sweep your system to ensure all files from the old card are removed, then visit the web site of the new card's maker and download/install their latest display driver release.
Best of luck.

Windows 8.1 100% Disk Usage Problem

I am running a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5110. 12 GB Ram, 456 GB HD with 311 GB free, CPU Max speed 2.7 GH. My computer, as many other
W8 and W8.1 users seem to suffer, is nearly constantly at 100% disk usage (apparently
I have seen many claims as to what causes this; some even say it involves a bad HD. However, I do not think my HD is bad because
1. My HD was fine before I got 8.1, to the best of my knowledge ( was on 8 prior to 8.1)
2. Most importantly, when my computer isn't in the 100% phases, it seems to work absolutely fine!
I would like help in figuring out what to do about this problem, as well as why it occurs and why it works the way it does (i.e. seemingly just going away for long periods of time).
It is extremely difficult to work when my computer is being very slow, and not knowing when it will happen or what makes it stop happening is frustrating.
I will provide below a list of measures I have taken, edited to include new things tried.
1. Adding RAM
2. Increasing pagefile
3. Running programs to clean up clutter, fix registry problems, free up memory, etc (specifically, Iolo System Mechanic)
4. Disabling the Windows Search Indexing service
5. Checking for updates
6. Running Microsoft Security Scanner (it found nothing)
7. Disabling Live Tiles (of which I only had one in the first place!)
8. One person claimed that their problem went away when they ran Skype, of all things. I tried this, though it did not do the trick.
9. Booting in Safe Mode.
10. Clean Boot.
11. My drive is 0% fragmented.
12. Trying to repair the Windows Image does nothing, as it comes up as being healthy when scanned.
13. sfc /scannow did not fix the problem either.
14. Running Microsoft's performance scanner and uploading the .etl file got me a reply blaming Chrome, which is impossible because
the problem occurs with no programs running. I will try another recording and put it up; the link will be edited in.

Having the exact same problem on a computer after the Windows update installed from 8.0 to 8.1.
Even after reloading the computer from scratch.
The drive activity goes WAY up when booting - to 100%. It then seems to calm down but randomly will go up and down throughout the day peaking at 100%. Even when nothing is open except a MSWord page into which I am typing.
If other programs are open such as Excel and/or Internet Explorer they will display the file name at the top as usual with (Not Responding) at the end. The screen will fade to an opaque look. This lasts for up to approx. 15 minutes at times and the computer
responds to no keyboard or mouse clicks. The mouse pointer on the screen still moves but nothing happens when I click on anything.
I managed to keep the Task Manager visible and it clearly shows less than 20% memory use and less than 5% CPU use when this occurs. But the HDD is at 100%.
The fact that it was fine prior to updating to 8.1 indicates an issue with 8.1 to me. Absolutely nothing else has changed on this machine - aside from Windows Update.
This is a know fault and I hate W8.1. Once it finishes whatever it is doing then there are a bunch of screen flashes as it catches up to what ever and where ever I had clicked with the mouse while it was frozen. It is like it is catching up because W8.1
is causing the HDD to ???????????
Another issue I encounter is the stupid Automatic Maintenance that cannot be disabled. I have found nothing to accomplish this that actually works no matter what anyone has posted on MS sites. It last rendered my computer today useless for approx. +1
hour today!!! I had been using the computer and it was never idle for more than 1 or 2 minutes but yet it started. It is set to run at 1:00 am but it was only approx. 5:00 pm.!!
The Automatic Maintenance is not running however, when the computer freezes and uses 100% HDD as indicated by Task Manager.
Also I can disconnect the computer from the modem or power off the modem and the HDD remains at 100%! So it is not sending nor receiving anything at that time.

100% disk usage in Task Manager when using Photoshop CC (Windows 8.1 - 64 bit)

Hi
I have been using Adobe CC for a month or two now. I own an Asus laptop with Intel i7 (2.4 GHz), 6 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk space and 64 bit, nearly 6 months old. Following apps are currently installed: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Acrobat XI Pro, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. I recently performed an update through Adobe CC for Photoshop and Illustrator, all others are up-to-date.
I believe, but I may be wrong, that since this update Photoshop is acting weird on my laptop. When I start Photoshop, my task manager immediately indicates a 100% rate of my disk usage. This seems to wield off after it is fully operational, but when I start to edit a file, the disk usage immediately jumps back to 100%, while the CPU remains below 10%, RAM stays at 3.5-3.8 GB (only 60% of total capacity) and even the actual read and write speeds of my HDD are not particularly high (5 - 10MB max). And because of the 100% disk usage, Photoshop freezes in an instant and operating it is nearly impossible.
I already uninstalled Photoshop, went over all services and **** that could trigger this within Windows 8.1 (Google-search for: Windows 8.1 disk usage 100%) , re-installed Photoshop and I still have the same problem.
So, I was wondering if there might be a solution to this problem or if anybody else is having this problem as well?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: This error applies only when I try to manipulate, add, edit or remove text. All other functions (not related to text) seem to work properly.

No, I don't know much about that, but I found a couple links for you..

100% disk usage windows 8.1

dear support,
Currently my system is displaying a 100% disk usage with the main cause being system.
I've tried disabling the services superfetch and windows search to no avail.
I'm currently running the windows performance toolkit in order to get more system information. Where should I upload the logfile in order for you to see what's the cause of the problem?

Without the trace files or any information about what is shown by Resource Monitor to be using the drive there is no way to provide further suggestions.
The one piece of advice that I can give is, if the application causing 100% disk usage is tiworker.exe, you may want to leave the system running overnight or for an extended period of time. Tiworker.exe
cleans up the core system files following installation of updates and ultimately restores space and performance to your system.

Difference between Available and Used in Info for MacIntosh HD and Space Free and Space Utilised under Activity Monitor, Disk Usage?

I have a MacBook Air 2010, upgraded to OSX Version 10.8.4. When I click the Macintosh HD and then look under Info, it says I have 120.47GB capacity, Available 60.97GB, Used 59.5GB. However when I look under Activity Monitor, Disk Usage it says Space Utilised 92.18GB, Space free: 28.29GB. Questions:
Why the difference?
Which is more important for computer speed?
How to I reduce "Space Utlised" to closer to "Used"? (I've already moved 25GB of the more bulky, less immediate data to external storage from the computer, including emptying IPhoto Trash and the main Trash. The Space Utilised dropped only from 95GB to 92GB--while the Used space dropped from 85GB to 60GB.)

Iheartapple1970
Just to let you I tried the reindexing before the Mendes advice and it had no effect. Of course, I may have done it wrong. It was the HD icon from the desktop which I dragged into the Privacy window of Spotlight (and then did the +, OK, - and close Spotlight). Should I have dragged in something else? Or opened up the HD and dragged in all the contents?
Also, there is a small section in my HD which is for my wife's account which has a separate user name and password, although it has no data in it and I set it up while under my administrator account original, so my MacAir may think I still "own" it; in any case, I did not get any sort of error message saying I did not have ownership of the entire HD.

Distribution of Disk Usage

This may be a very simple issue. I'm just wondering if there is some function where I can see the distribution of where my disk space is used. My hard drive is basically full (capacity 159.7 GB; available 826.9 MB; used 158.87 GB), but when I hit get info for the different folders that are directly within the "Macintosh HD" (Applications, Users, System, Library) I can only account for about 120 GB worth of disk usage so I'm a bit confused. If the discrepancy was due to the disk formatting wouldn't that be reflected in the capacity shown under the Macintosh HD info? Or is there some other usage that is hidden somehow?

There are many folders that are normally invisible (to keep you from messing around with them unless you really know what you're doing). They aren't included in the 120GB that you can account for.
With less than 1GB of free space on your hard drive, you are in imminent danger of losing the use of your computer, and perhaps losing some of the data you've stored on it. You need to free up an absolute minimum of 10GB of space immediately, and 15-20GB would be much better. You can indeed see exactly how the space on the drive is being used and what is taking up how much of it, but it requires software that you will need to download and install, and you would be insane to add anything to your hard drive now. After you've deleted at least 10GB of data from the drive, download, install and run DiskInventory X for a graphical and textual display of what is using your hard drive space. This will quickly show you what remains on the drive that's really large and probably shouldn't be on it.

Warranty Void query(High Impotence) AND DISK USAGE 100% NEED HELP!!!

I Have an HP Dv6 pavillion 7011tx. after i upgraded this laptop to windows 8, i observed that the disk usage (in task manager) always shows 100% activity..had an Clean boot, tried all the disk checks and management things . rebooted th pc again with windows 8 but still the problem continues..
i dont think there is any solution to this problem as i have seen many many more other posts similar to this problem
COMING TO MY QUERY,
I think that the problem is with bios config, my hardisk type is SATA but the bios has it set to EF mode currently .
Which has made my pc very very slow The insyde h20 bios sucks!
Bios utlilty doesnt has the option even to change it. Is there any solution to this problem?
PC Configuration:
I5 3rd gen intel processor
6GB Ram
600GB HDD
CAN THIS CONFIGURATION ACHIEVE A 100% DISK USAGE EVEN IF NOTHING BIG IS RUNNING IN BACKGROUND?
I AM THINKING TO BUY AN SOLID STATE DRIVE, i hope that it will resolve the problem as it is compatible on both the mode. I will extend my HDD with SDD!
Can i do it myself or shall i have to go to HP CENTER.
DOES MY WARRANTY GETS VOID IF I OPEN THE LAPTOP BACK FOR THIS ?
REPLY ASAP (URGENT)

Hi,
Disk Usage 100% does not mean disk full but there is task which is doing a lot of i/o during that time (probably swap/page file). If nothing using i/o, the number should be down to 0% as shown:
Now, I start a download, you can see both disk usage and Networks activities:
In your case, the utility may do a lot of i/o to the swap/page file. My suggestion: stop it or BUYING MORE RAM.
Hope this helps.

Ntoskrnl.exe System %100 disk usage with windows 8.1. all the time!.

hello i am also having the %100 disk usage problem and am starting a thread to upload my etl. file and see if i can get a solution. thnx. i should also mention i have tried every suggestion i have read on the internet even ones that worked for other people
did not work for me i.e. (switching to high performance power plan, disabling cd drive, etc.) no matter what i try "system" is always utilizing 90%-100% of my hard drive and it is driving me crazy.
i can barely do anything on computer without it taking 10x times longer than it should. ive also run dskchk and boot time virus scans and malware scans. all to no avail. i have more than enough ram and a quad core cpu. when i first purchased my laptop it
was running windows 8 and was lightning fast once i upgraded to 8.1 i think is when the issue started occurring.
i am currently installing the windows assessment and deployment kit right now and will upload my etl. file to the skydrive asap.

RAM Issues + High disk usage on MSI GE60

Recently I've noticed that my system slowly eats up RAM. It starts off at 21% and can go as high up as 80% or more. When I'm playing games on it the RAM does not clear up properly either, it stays at 50% or so. This was an issue before that I somehow managed to solve, but it is back again.
As for high disk usage, that's been a problem since I've had the laptop.
OS: Windows 8
Processor: Intel Core i7 4700MQ (2.40GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M
RAM: 8GB Memory
HDD: 750GB
If you need more info I'll provide it.

If you open task manager-> performance -> open resource manager / you will see whats eating up your resources
if its windows see if indexing is off
did you installed 3rd party software diffrent than stock ?
how old is your laptop?
its not normal to have such high usage numbers !! i think its a program causing the problems !
if you check your resource manager you will be able to see whats causing it
ps if possible please post a screen shot and ill look into it

Ntoskrnl.exe 100% disk usage windows 8.0 and 8.1

This is a bug report. I hope Microsoft will take it seriously as it took me a whole day and much stress to track it down. Basically my problem was the same as this: http://slopjong.de/2013/04/23/extremely-high-disk-activity-with-windows-8-and-how-to-fix-it/
However in the graphic on this site it appears to show that Virtualbox is the culprit. However this is unlikely to be the case, as the author of the site fixed his problem by following his own advice. This is an extremely common problem as this Google search
indicates:
https://www.google.co.uk/#q=ntoskrnl.exe+100+disk+usage+windows+8
To attempt to address my own problem first I disabled all non-microsoft services in Windows 8.1 professional. When this had no effect on the problem, I then disabled all non-essential Microsoft services. In turn. when this has no effect I disabled all user
installed start-up items. Again when this failed to have an impact, I changed my browser from Firefox to Google Chrome, as I noted that the extremely high disk utilisation was at it's worst when using Firefox. This also had no effect.
I then tried a variation of my search on Google "ntoskrnl.exe 100 disk usage windows 8" (I can't remember the exact variation) and stumbled over the above site at the beginning of this message. I had by that point tried everything that was in my power
to try. But I noted from this article that the author recommended changing the power plan from 'balanced', to 'high performance'. Since I had exhausted every other avenue, I decided to try this and like magic, instantly it worked. So there is clearly
a bug in Windows 8.1 (and 8 prior to this) that causes 100% disk utilisation. I thought someone at MS might like to know about it and come up with a way to fix it.
Below is my system configuration. Please note this system configuration may contain a number of errors, as it was generated with several non-essential Microsoft services disabled. I do not believe these issues need to be addressed. However the issue of 100%
disk utilisation when using a 'balanced' power plan on Windows 8.1 (and 8.0) almost certainly does.
PS
This message board system will not allow me to post my full system configuration. MS need a better bug reporting system! Apple allow the public to submit bug reports, so why not Microsoft too. The public can find useful bugs!

Windows 8.0 ntoskernel has producing 100% disk usage

hello i am also having the %100 disk usage problem and am starting a thread to upload my etl. file and
see if i can get a solution. thnx. i should also mention i have tried every suggestion i have read on the internet even ones that worked for other people did not work for me i.e. (switching to high performance power plan, disabling cd drive, etc.) no matter
what i try "system" is always utilizing 90%-100% of my hard drive.
the issue started with windows 7 Ent edition and I decided to reflash the drive Cof my Laptop HP Probook 6470B with windows 8.0 ENT 64 bits and has the
same symptom ntoskrnl.exe is causing hiccups on I/O and delays . The access to C on windows 8 compared h Windows 7 is better but continue showing the issue.
Other peers on the same company not complaint of this delay but I'm sure that they have same symptom.
the symptom is that the Ntoskernel read and write constantly few bytes for fractions of second but repeatedly, the effect is that the queue disk
is high and this issue no let to use the drive C, the system need to wait that the drive is free to let that other applications can use the drive SATA.
I try to share my .etl collected with windows performance analyzer , but "ONE drive" application no let my up more of 100MB in single
file.

Hi Wanikiya,
Unfortunately I can´t remove the Mcafee sw due that is is a policy of my company.
Checking the MS Performance tool you can see that the behavior that show the disk is caused not by Mcafee process. You can select only Process system (4) and right click and select filter selection you can see that the output match exactly with the
disk behavior.
when you put the mouse and click the top 100 % line of the graph you will see a message like this:
Path name- c:\$logfile
IO Init Stack -- [Root] /ntoskrnl.exe ? /ntoskernel.exe?/nto..../fvevol.sys!?/volmgr.sys!/partmagr.sys!?
the Pathname change in each point of the graph but the IO Init stack remain the same.
I'm afraid the the SATA drive is having an issue and windows try to fix.
But if you found something more let me know.
Let me tell you that I'm using bit locker encryption and all the data on my disk has been encrypted.
Any idea will be welcome.

Windows 8.1 100% Disk Usage/High CPU. HELP!!!

Can an expert possibly assist me in identifying what is causing my HP-G72 laptop to encounter severe CPU/Disk Usage issues??
I have zipped the folder containing the results from the WPT and uploaded it to my OneDrive but it will not let me put the link in the body of this post.
Please Help!

You can include a link by replacing http:// with xttp://
In order to diagnose your problem you will need to download and install the below
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
Help with installation (if needed) is here
When you have, open an elevated command prompt and type the following
WPRUI.exe (which is the windows performance recorder) and check off the boxes for the following:
First level triage, CPU usage, Disk IO.
If your problem is not CPU or HD then check off the relevant box/s as well (for example networking or registry)
Click Start
Let it run for 60 secs or more and save the file (it will show you where it is being saved and what the file is called)
Zip the file and upload to us on Onedrive (or any file sharing service) and give us a link to it in your next post.

Hi,
The day i bought my new vaio laptop. i m facing this Disk usage 100% problem as it came with by default windows 8 OS. I thought it may be an bug or something may be it will be get fixed in windows 8.1. but , even after updating to windows 8.1 m still facing
the same problem.
I gone through so many forums and tried everything. even i tried with clean windows 8.1 installation.
So,please i just want to know is there any solution for this. or now finally i have to go back to windows 7.
Thanks,
Maddy

If your computer came like this return it to your place of purchase. If that is impossible please upload your event viewer logs so we can examine them
Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to skydrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem. The
work around is to edit the registry. If you are not comfortable doing this DONT. If you are, backup the key before you do
Press Win+"R" and input regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"
