Title: Disk Usage at 100% - Avast Iscache.dat
Post by: Dan The Man on February 02, 2019, 04:30:30 PM

Recently, whenever I wake up my computer from sleep, the Disk usage goes to 100% and stays there for anywhere from 10-40 minutes.

Performance meter says the Process using all the Disk is System, but the file is ...\AVAST\Iscache.dat.  It's writing 5-6 Mbits per second here.

System is too important a process to halt, and not sure why it's accessing an Avast file.  Avast itself doesn't show any activity.

This really impacts performance until the Disk usage drops.  Help!
