Hard Disk free space lick after system restore windows 8.1

I did a system restore and after that, the laptop was functioning slowly. I realised that the disk usage was spiking. Later I realised also that I was constanlty loosing free space from my hard disk without downloading anything or any action. I run the windows performer recorder when the spikes occurs.Link in OneDrive https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=26DCEC24336471AC%21106  . Furthermore when the laptop is on idle the disk usage goes to 100%. Task manager shows that most of the usage is from svchost.exe(defragsvc).

(I dont think it is a scheduled act from windows to run defragging at the moment). What could be? Any advice?

Hi,

From your recorder information, we could see these 5 process below take high disk space:

WPRUI.exe
System
vprot.exe
avgui.exe
avgcefrend.exe

Since you run the Windows performance toolkit to trace the log, exclude WPRUI.exe and system. It seems you use AVG product.

I suggest you disable or uninstall them temporarily to check if the disk usage decrease.
