Since updating to win 10, I'm experiencing issues with my disk usage. From time to time (sometimes every 10 minutes, sometimes once every few hours) my system becomes unresponsive because the disk usage is 100%. It usually takes one or two minutes for this blocking to be resolved.
If I have the task manager open, it says the read and write speeds are 0, but still my disk is being used for 100%. I'd expect there's some process blocking IO access to all the others, so I've tried watching the performance monitor for heavy processess, but since I can only see the current read/write speed of each process/service, I haven't been able to pinpoint any abnormal behavior.
Can anyone show me how to diagnose this kind of issue please? As you can imagine it does reduce my productivity, and to be honest I hate it when my pc behaves unexpectatly :p

PS: I've googled 100% disk usage issues and came across many different suggestions (like disabling some windows services), but to be honest I'd prefere not to 'solve' the problem by cutting off pieces of the intended operation of my OS.
