Computer stuck at 100% disk usage, I've tried everything and nothing will fix it.

For months now my laptop has been using 100% of the disk. I've tried everything to fix it including things like disabling Windows Search and Superfetch. Nothing works as a permanent solution. The top five processes usually hogging all of the disk are: System, Google Chrome (when open), Windows Module Installer, Registry, various Service Hosts, and Cortana.


I've seen System use an ungodly amount of the disk (up to 99.6%) and it is constantly using above 50%. Sometimes I see it dip down to ~30% but it's usually above 50%.


Like I said I have tried everything you see in videos or articles on how to fix it. Nothing has worked permanently. Some things have fixed it until I restart my laptop, but that's it. It's causing my laptop to tank performance-wise and making it chug hard to do anything, even start up or just do simple things.


I'm at a loss of what to do at this point. I'm thinking I'll just have to have it taken in to be repaired if I can't find anything else online.
