i was facing high disk usage of constant 100% ..after googling i disabled the services ...it resolved the issue somewhat but whenever i copy something within hard disk or install someting that disk usage goes to 100% and the system just got stuck..i downgraded clean install to anniversary update of win 10 still facing the issue...perfomance is very slow...i found that ntoskrnl.exe is causing the problem..i changed its attributes ...but after few minuter disk usage agin goes high.how to tweak this ntoskrnl.exe!

I had the exact same issue yesterday too and i fixed the problem only with a simple "reset PC". I couldnt find a different way around it sadly. But now my CPU/disk usage is at under 5% thankfully. Hope that helps.
