After using Windows 8.1 for some time, i notice my Win 8.1 machine having slow performance and my hard disk seems very busy. When i check with my Task Manager, it show Disk usage 99% and 100%. At that time, I only have one notepad program running and nothing else, just wonder why my disk is so busy. After few days of testing, i finally find out the problem. Actually Win 8.1 come with a superfetch service that help to anticipate and prefetch the next item / program that you going to launch to memory, so that your machine will gain performance improvement. But i didnt see any improvement at this point, so i decided to disable these service.
To solve the disk usage 100% in Win 8.1, follow the steps below:-
