I have Windows 10 insider (technically now it's not an insider anymore but let's say that beta) and some days ago it started working poorly. I have my Samsung 850 EVO SSD fully used then it's now slower than a normal mechanical drive, having built-in apps randomly dying, then the PC restarts because of a critical error. Browsers only work 10% of the time, and it's not because of a network connection issue - I checked.
Nothing shows in Resource Monitor. The disk is not the only problem as built-in apps won't open, the browser connection is very unstable, and there are lots of restarts because a "Critical process died", opened apps are freezing etc.
System specs: Intel Core I5 3330, 8GB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz, Samsung SSD 850 EVO 120GB, WD 500GB 7200RPM, ASRock B75 Pro3-M, HD 7770
Note: It worked fine under Windows 8.1.

look if Write cache is disabled (device manager). If it is turned on, run this xperf trace (use the Win10 SDK: http://t.co/cgjd1urkFp): http://pastebin.com/AyxAVU60

You may get a big clue as to what is going on from that. Recently I had Windows Update go nuts on me and this caused 100% HHD use, for example. – Saulysw – 2015-07-22T05:36:23.217
Also, that disk is fairly small. Is it actually full? How much free space does it have? – Saulysw – 2015-07-22T05:51:43.167
@Saulysw Disk has narly 90gb free space,
Everyone else: When i'll get home from work i'll further update the question with the information that you required. – Shapperd – 2015-07-22T05:53:41.420
That's answered. I found out that it was the windows update. – Shapperd – 2015-07-22T14:07:36.687
