Hello,
Can you post a screenshot of the processus/apps/services which are monopolizing the disk ?
Are you on an SSD or an HDD ?
How old is the computer ?
Do you deal with malwares, cracked programs, torrents ?
Please give more information ...

Do you Windows 32 bit on a 64 bit platform? This problem normally comes when you do so.
also answer those questions Yseurk asked.

I suspect some unwanted app or spyware in your computer. Run malwarebytes scan if you can.

I had a faulty disk which was always on 100%. I tried installing a fresh windows, but same. So I just replaced it and it works fine since then. The disk was faulty or smth.

it could be your browser -
firefox/chrome/ other browsers are often injected with files overtime through random website visits.
if this is a possibility for you. get a program called "search everything"
type "chrome" / "firefox" into the "search everything" program after running it, and delete every folder that pops up with "chrome" "firefox" (or whatever browser ur using at the time). (that are linked to the browser data). be sure to backup bookmarks and history before doing so, and / important passwords.
just a possibility

If you're using hdd have you tried to defrag it?
RE: 100% disk in task manager - StayPlural - Jun 30, 2020
Take a whole day to cleaning your pc. Delete all unnecessary programs and files. Run >chkdsk, run a defrag on c, and check your entries. Clean up your start up programs. I would suggest just saving photos and files and refreshing your system. From there you can see if you have hardware problems.

The only solution for this is to get SSD...

I recommend you to buy an SSD and replace it
RE: 100% disk in task manager - noroku64 - Aug 4, 2020
Is your laptop processor capable of 64 bit because that will help you utilize all your RAM. SSD drive would help in this case too. Often times when fresh windows 10 machine is installed if you don't get all the updates your Drive will run on 100%. You can go into safe mode and do a refresh if you having problems installing updates. You can have it keep all you files but you will have to re install the software.

As people have already said just go buy an ssd it last long and Is really not that expensive if you dont need more than 250 or 500 gigs.
