I upgraded my wife's laptop upgraded to Windows 8 a while back. It has 4GB of RAM and a 2.5Ghz i5 in it.

Even when just running a browser it has near 100% Disk and CPU utilisation. Not constantly, it just keeps jumping up from 0% to 100% spending most of its time at over 75% utilisation.

I have looked at all sorts of things to try and resolve this. Unfortunately it makes her laptop close to unusable. Any ideas from anyone?
