@GAMING6698 I did notice one issue. In trying to download origin games from a web browser andI get the following messages:

The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found

and

The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found.

@Aderleena
This is not a issue, common in new laptops because gamer don't know about two important software.

You need to install Microsoft DirectX and Microsoft visual c++(both 32bit(x84) and 64bit)
After installation restart your laptop and go ahead

@GAMING6698 Should I uninstall VS C++ 2017 (x64)? Then reinstall...

Aderleena · May 2020

@GAMING6698 I didn't need to uninstall. We're all good! Can't thank you enough!

GAMING6698 · May 2020

@Aderleena
Yes, no need to uninstall anything just install both software.

In addition, don't forget to install nitrosense and set high performance powerPlan (AC) from nitrosense to get full performance

Aderleena · May 2020

@GAMING6698 Spoke too soon. Disk back up to 100% after clean install.

GAMING6698 · May 2020

@Aderleena
Again same issue 100% disk usage?

Aderleena · May 2020

@GAMING6698 It looks liek when I launch something it pegs to 100 on disk. Then calms down. For example, I launched Origin and it pegged to 100% but settles back down to <10%. I also see that the antimalware service executable is running and will also peg it before settling back down. I didn't install Sims4 from origin yet. I'm sure installing and launching that will peg it also.

Aderleena · May 2020

@GAMING6698 Any time I launch something, that app and the and Windows Defender peg it to 100%

GAMING6698 · May 2020

@Aderleena
1)Completely update your window
2)window defenders take 100% usage if running you can end task from task mamanager

@GAMING6698 All updates are completed and computer restarted. Still can't launch an application without disk hitting 100%, and can't launch games at all. When I try disk goes to 100% and game never launches. Is this still pointing at a software issue? Starting to believe this might be a hardware issue.
