New Aspire F 15 high disk usage

Hey guys,

This is the second new Aspire F 15 laptop I've picked up. I replaced my previous one with a new one because of a high disk usage error. I couldn't fix it despite spending countless hours trying every fix I could find online.

So I'm quite frustrated now, after picking up a new model and seeing the same problem. The disk usage typically hovers around 95% in task manager when nothing is running, and when I open any program it shoots to 99% - 100%. Sometimes it goes below 90%, but it's always shortlived.

The services in task manager that usually hog all the disk usage are:

Service Host: Local System
wsappx

McAfee Scanner service

I don't think this should be happening with a brand new laptop, especially with the second model. Can someone please explain what might be causing this or how to change it? Or if I should just return it and get a different laptop. The F 15 has everything I need for my price range, and I'd rather not have to find another laptop. Again, I've tried every solution online that I could find, and it nothing helped.

Any insight would be much appreciated.
