Need help! My computer has been auto running 100% disk usage at the same timing everyday! I found out that i couldn't use my computer from 7pm to 10pm because the disk usage is at 100%. Tried many ways but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

I have encountered this problem before. The best solution is to reinstall window.

Check background processes like alifffresto mentioned.
Ctrl + Shift + Esc

Could it be a scheduled disk backup or maintenance thing (if hdd - defrag?) running that you forgot about? Esp if it's same time everyday.

Open Task Manager, Performance see which process/application eating up your disk.

Guys i remember correctly that its not the disk defragmentation scheduler problem cause i check it. But idk what time it will run... It will run weekly but my disk usage is 99% every 7pm to around 10pm.

I cannot check the task manager now cause its only 5:50pm.

Im using eset security. I do a scan every week or sometimes 2 week once. Shouldn't be virus unless someone create a backdoor to my comp to do a DDOS lo

TS just reformat and reinstall Windows. Painful but no other choice.

The symptoms sound like someone hijacked ur comp to do scheduled bitcoin mining though. Speculating, haha.
