Sony Vaio Vpceb31en E Series laptop
The disk utilisation is always 100% first I concluded that it is because of a Windows update but when after I checked Resource monitor it says System is using the most disk.
I scanned with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but nothing detected, OS operations slowed down a lot, even clicking start button takes many minutes to appear.
Is this due to a failing hdd? But it was working absolutely fine before until a Windows update was unable to install and then I had to force shut down the PC and since then problem worsened but now Resource monitor doesn't mention Windows Update process running.
Reset doesn't work, it gets stuck at 3% always and back to same condition. Now booting to Windows Login Screen also takes many minutes. Problem also continues in Safe Mode with Networking.
What can be done?
