Hey people,
Sorry for the lack of updates. For the past few weeks is been almost impossible for me to work on my PC. It keeps freezing on me with the smallest of task.
The system task (on the task manager) using 100% of my disk (hard drive) almost every time.
I've tried every possible solution I could find online, I've updated every driver, change stuff in registry but nothing work.

Today I even reinstalled windows and after wiping everything and a completely clean installation the issue persists!! I wanna throw this fucking thing out the window!
(All my work is safely sorted in the cloud).

The only other thing I can think of is buying a new SSD, other than that I have no clue what else to do..... Aside from buying a new PC, this one is just 1 year old.

Let me know if the Dropbox links are still up, if not you'll have to wait until I can fix this fucking thing.

"Aside from buying a new PC, this one is just 1 year old." I have an 8yo macbook. Never had any issues. Sorry to say but... PC sux. I'm not using Windows since 2012. Don't waste your money on PCs.

I recently reset my own pc. Sadly sometimes, its just the hard drive that goes bad. Backup everything you want to keep online, wipe it all and reinstall on a new hard drive. Then re-download the files you want back. Thats what i had to do. Also SSD is great but expensive. I bought a 6TB HDD for $120 on Amazon and my pc is working great now.

Guessing you tried this already but my googlefu is pretty good https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/3083595/task-manager-might-show-100-disk-utilization-on-windows-10-devices-wit. Also have updated the actual firmware on the SSD? Alot of people miss that

It does sound like by this point it might be a drive issue. It might take extra time, but have you tried to install Windows to a different storage device? It could tell you if it's that.

Looks like a faulty device, yep.

Well, at least there are much more expensive parts to have to replace

No offensive but this is terrible advice. Speaking as someone who owns far too many Macs (2 MacBooks, a few old Mac Pros, a Mac Mini, and a few iMacs), they're just as prone to issues and failure as PCs. I had to replace the GPU on my 2011 MacBook Pro THREE times! Over the 5 years I used it before it died for good, I went through a few chargers - they kept breaking! Next, the video card in my parent's iMac also went bad, which rendered the whole thing useless. Not to mention the replacement iMac's hard drive getting the click of death (replacing an iMac HDD is an hour-long nightmare). The problem with Macs is that when they fail they're far more difficult and expensive to repair, often prohibitively so (or outright impossible). With PCs there's a lot of junk out there, but there's also a lot of great options too. You just have to do your research or build the computer yourself to ensure it's of good quality.
