Problem solved. I disable the Bits and superfetch:s12:

These 2 seem to be important components of Windows. Ideally should not disable.

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is for downloading Windows updates. You disable it, maybe will no longer receive important critical updates from Microsoft.

SuperFetch is supposed to improve your PC performance by caching data in memory. Disabling it may make your PC run slower, as data will be fetched from disk only when requested. By right it should throttle itself to avoid affecting the performance.

For the BITS, i can do a self manual check everyday to make sure my pc is up to date. For superfetch... Isit better to not disable it?

Internet also ask me to disable window search.

download and install treesize (free), it will show you % of space used by which app and where.
