    Look at the Task Manager Resource Monitor to see if you can tell what Processes are causing high disk activity.
    Resource Monitor is a button the the Task Manager / Performance tab.

    Here's an example of the window I'm talking about:

    Look at the Disk tab that I highlighted in my screen print - I think it's easier to use for this.
    You are looking at the Overview tab.

    Sort by the Total (B/sec) so the highest numbers are at the top of the list.
    To sort, click on the Total (B/sec) column heading.
