What to do with Aspire A515-51G-5536 100% disk usage out of the box

roeyke

Hi,
I bought it two month ago.

From day 1 It works very slow and shows 100% disk usage when looking in to task manager.

I tried the Alt F10 for factory reset but same issues.

I contacted the online technical chat service and they told me to try : 

1. go to services and disable "windows search"
2. go to services  and disable "Superfetch"
   
3. go to "regedit" and make changes there.
   

and more and more deep windows configurations.

I am in Israel and i need the laptop now so customer service told me to send it to the US lab and they will check it and send it to US address .It will probably take at least 2 month to have it beck (and off course the dangerous of new damages in sending laptop between countries).

Any suggestions? 

regards
