Windows: the disc is running continuously

Οι εφαρμογές των Windows έχουν πρόσβαση στο σκληρό σας δίσκο για να ανοίξουν ή να τροποποιήσουν ένα αρχείο. Για παράδειγμα, όταν ανοίγετε το Notepad ή το Microsoft and you create a text file, both applications can write to your disk.

At the same time, they can also read from disk to access the location of each document. It's perfectly normal. However if a is constantly reading or writing to a disk there may be a problem because the disk should work continuously. This happens sometimes and can be a sign that there are problematic applications running on your system. Windows

Below we will see how you can find the applications that have the right to read and write to disk in case your disk does not stop running.

You can easily find them from Task Manager and you don't need any extra apps. Just open it and see on the Details tab. Right-click any of the headings in the column columns and from the menu click Select Columns.

A new small window will open with a list of columns that you can activate. From the list, select the I / O writes and I / O reads columns and close the window.

Go back to Task Manager and you will see the two new columns you have activated. In Task Manager, you can sort in one column the applications that can write and read to your disk.

Click the title of a column to sort the applications in ascending or descending order. They will be updated in real time and will show you which applications read and write to disk. If you see an application that has access to your disk and is not running by you, you might want to research it further.

Some applications have services running in the background, and they may appear in these columns. Check if the application writing to disk has background services or processes running. You can search at the name of the service and see if it should run or not.

If after all this your disk keeps spinning unnecessarily, you can try running your system in safe mode. In Windows Safe Mode, check to see if the suspicious process is still running. In Safe Mode, however, only the basic services of the system run. So if the process is not there, you will know that some application is most likely to blame.

If it's an app, you may need to uninstall it from Windows and find an alternative. Alternatively, check if the specific app has a known one and if there are fixes.

  1. Interesting TaskManager capability
    It has other useful information such as the path that the application runs (and so we can see if it is one of our acquaintances)
