Disk Usage Issues

Brass Contributor

Having an issue with a batch of AVD VMs where on login the Disk Active Time goes to 100% and stays there, never coming back down even to the 90s.  I disabled Windows Search thinking that may do it, removed the profiles, ran a DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and a sfc /scannow, rebooted.  On reboot, the VM was acting better, with Active Time staying down and only going up here and there.

 

I shut the VM down and came back to it about 30 min later, powered it back on.   Logged in and the Disk Active Time is 100% again pegged.  The system is back to being super sluggish.   I checked Background Processes and Search is one of the Processes and the SearchApp.exe is listed as suspended.  Windows Search is still disabled, but the VM is so laggy its unusable with the disk active time pegged at 100%

 

Any ideas?
