    with high disk usage. To check if there is a program dragging your hard drive, you can run the steps
    below.

    Step 2: Locate the Disk option under the Processes tab and find out the program showing high disk
    usage rate. If such an application exists, you can restart or close it directly. After that, your hard drive
    could work smoothly.
    2. Clean up the Hard Drive

    If the hard drive is installed with Windows 10, system junk files could be the cause of the problem. In
    this situation, you need to remove these useless files to speed up the hard drive. To thoroughly and
