100% Disk Usage

Show all headers | View raw

I've got an Inspiron 5559 laptop, purchsed May of 2016.  Runs Windows 10 
Home, fully updated.  Hard drive is only 33% full, 8GB memory.  It's been 
running fine until about 9 months ago when it started to slow down upon 
starting, launching programs, and shutting down.  Task Manager shows the 
hard drive is at 100% usage.  It takes about 20 minutes for the hard 
drive to settle down to where I can use the machine.  But, even when 
settled down, it takes about one to two minutes to launch a program, i.e. 
Photos, Media Player...to where I can use the program.  Once launched, it 
works fine.

I've searched for fixes to "100% disk usage", but nothing has worked.  
I've  watched what's running at start up by using the Resource Monitor, 
but there's so many things running there that keep changing places, it's 
hard to identify something to further track down.  

There's a lot of Dell programs running in Resource Monitor, but even when 
those finally appear at the bottom of the list, other programs take their 
place and the hard drive is still at 100%.

Anyone left here that's solved this issue?

I'm getting to the point where I may do a clean install.
