I have a Dell Inspiron Core i5 with 4 GB RAM and 500 GB hard disk. After upgrading to windows 10 from 8.1, I am constantly facing a high disk usage problem which is causing my machine to run a ot slower than usual. The processes that usually have a high disk usage are as follows:
- Antimalware service executable
- System and compressed memory
Is there any workaround for this issue?
don't use Windows defender, install a 3rd party Anti-Virus tool – magicandre1981 – 2016-07-10T17:43:41.250

Install the WPT (part of the Win10 SDK: https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-sdk), run WPRUI.exe, select First Level, CPU usage, DiskIO, FileIO and click to start. Now capture 1 minute of the DiskIO. After 1 minute click on Save. Zip the large ETL file into zip/RAR file, upload the zip (OneDrive, dropbox, google drive) and post the share link here.

only the Windows Performance Toolkit – magicandre1981 – 2016-07-11T04:19:05.210
Not really an answer but I have had the same experience with about 5 other computers which I have upgraded. After a day or two the high disk usage was gone - I don't know though what is causing it. Never had this problem again. How long are you using windows 10 now? – benjamin – 2016-07-11T08:55:48.970
Using it for over a year now. The problem was always there but its getting really bothersome these days. Cant work without something or the other crashing every other second. – Abhishek Agarwal – 2016-07-11T17:55:14.953
