System, Skype, Dropbox<br />
Removed Skype, now Dropbox is at the top<br />
<br />
Things settle back to normal apparently once Dropbox has finished indexing its files<br />
Therefore I have the culprit now; I guess I'll have to get used to Dropbox blocking my machine after a boot/reboot

Hi<br />
<br />
I just installed Windows 10 on a i5 15&quot; Macbook Pro (2014) running with 16GB of RAM<br />
<br />
The disk performance indicator is practically always at 100% <br />
<br />
I followed the various recommendations :<br />
- disable system compressed memory<br />
- adjusted Windows for best performance<br />
- disbaled Windows Search<br />
- disabled Superfetch (registry and services) and prefetch : both set to 0 in registry<br />
- disablesd app notifications<br />
- disabled 'Show me tips about Windows&quot;<br />
- set custom memory paging file size : 23040 MB<br />
- Set MSISupported to 0 for StorAHCI.SYS<br />
- Disabled Windows Defender<br />
- Set Write permission for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES on Skype.exe <br />
<br />
The only other thing I can't really manage is Dropbox, which at boot up indexes files - tried pausing the indexing to see if it made any difference : not a great impact<br />
Now that the indexing has stopped and the files are up to date - Disk is at 97% (small impovement !)<br />
<br />
Just downloaded Diskmon and executed it, but can't make heads or tails of the data that is streaming uninterruptedly<br />
<br />
Any ideas ?<br />
thanks<br />
