There are so many problems, I don't know where to start

Model:
AN515-51-72HL
Part No:
NH.Q2QAA.002
Current Specs:
8GB RAM
1TH HDD 5400 
4GB GTX 1050 Ti

It started the other night with my less than a week old laptop started running Disk capacity at 100%.

I did all the tips and tricks that I found from every website online:
-Disable Windows Search
-Disable Skype
-Disable SuperFetch
-Disabled Flash on Chrome
-Reset Virtual Memory
-Performed dskchk / /
-Changed Google Chrome Settings
-Update Drives
-Fixed StirAHCI.sys (wasn't even broken)
-Checked with WinDLG.exe (Quick Test and Extended Test said Pass)
-And finally did a Complete Reset and chose Remove Everything

It took 7 hours.

It still did not fix my Disk at 100% problem.
It also added another problem.
Now, every time I right click on the desktop, the mouse just gets stuck on the blue circle. When I hover to opened windows, I can click normally. It's just stays like that for a while. Then the right click options appear after a minute. But if I right click on the desktop, it just does it again.

Seriously. Help. I sacrificed all my files for this. It doesn't have any of my files, and it's slower than ever.

    I also noticed that I have some backlight bleeding.
    One pic is at Brightness 30
    The other one is at Brightness 100

    Is this normal? Or should I really opt for a replacement?

    hello, right, a little bit of light bleed often happens with IPS panels, however, if your 100% brightness picture is a true representation of what it looks like in front of you, that's pretty bad.  Personally, I'd get a replacement.

    Every IPS panel has some bleeding, but I think your IPS panel is somewhat defect unit, it shouldn't bleed even close to that much.

    100% disk usage might be because of 5400 RPM HDD, veery slow HDD. Really recommended to use SSD, upgrading HDD to SSD is pretty easy, with units that have HDD at start.

    As last trick, I would do clean installation of Windows 10. I just don't like Acer blotware.
