My disk in task manager is almost often 100. And it kinda makes it lag actually. How to fix this?

    First, try uninstalling not just disabling any non-Microsoft antivirus scanners. Microsoft Defender and Malicious Software Removal tool is really all that's needed. Report back with results. Jack E/NJ

    Uninstall Norton. Then shutdown. Then turn it back on again. Press WIN+R. Enter 'mrt' . This is Microsoft's malicious software removal tool. Follow the onscreen instructions to scan the machine including updating mrt if you get a message that a newer version is available. The mrt scan should take quite a while to complete.  Report back if it finds anything. Jack E/NJ
