Windows 10 Hard Drive Utilisation

Hello all

I bought a laptop last week for my wife and the hard drive utilisation keeps going to 100%. I have very limited use with windows 10 (can't stand it, avoid at all costs lol), so not sure how to fix this or if the hard drive itself is faulty.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thank you for the fast reply. That's really bad. How do people use windows 10 with a common problem like that? I feel like returning the laptop now because it's unusable as it is.

OK. I will try leaving it on for a while to see what happens. Thank you

I had a look at that but barely anything is using the hard drive. Thank you again

Current hard drive activity is at 1MB/s but still at 91% utilisation. When expanding it, it says windows update. With such a low activity, why is using so much utilisation? Just a common fault with Windows 10 as mentioned?
