Why does hard disk useage show 100% in the task manager using windows 10?

if you go to task manager, in the column DISK, if you click on DISK 100% it will list the applications that are utilizing the most your hard drive.

I have tried to determine what program is the hog with no luck. All apps are showing less than 1. I would not worry about the 100% if the computer wasn't sluggish. The dell I7 with 4gig of ram is way slower than my old VISTA machine. The problem is what ever is slowing the machine down isn't displaying. Running Norton, defragged ect. Thanks for trying.
