Battle bet/ wow - 100% memory usage

Hi,

So whenever I start a download from the Battle.net app on my computer (Windows 11) suddenly my computer uses 100% disk and becomes real slow/ freezes ‘forever’…

Task manager shows nothing above 0.1mb/s but it says 100% disk whenever I start to download wow from Battle.net.

My pc runs completely fine whenever I do Anything Else but download/ install wow…

So frustrating…

Exactly what application is using 100% disk capacity? And what sort of disk you have which is being affected by this?

Crystal ball does not work so you are going to need to post far more details if you want somebody to help you.

Well task manager shows nothing, thats kind of the wierd problem here. There Are no tasks showing more then 0.1% disk usage but the ‘overall’ disk usage is still 100%. Only way I ‘know’ its battle net is because everything is running perfect until I start up Battle.net and wow start downloading then suddenly disk usage is 100% but no changes in tasks

My disk is a kingston SNV2S2000G

Quick search finds several reports of NV2 going 100% use without clear cause. Plus from what I have read Kingston’s NV2 drives have been very unreliable.

My guess: faulty or about to fail drive. Make sure you have up-to-date backups. You can check disk information using Kingston’s own software or third party software like CrystalDiskInfo to see if there is anything obviously wrong with the drive.

I just find it very wierd when the Only time I have this problem is when Battle.net is downloading wow. Everything runs perfect until then.

If the Battlenet was causing it the disk usage would be attributed to one of it’s processes.

I just recently checked when i open wow it goes 89% -90 % ram usage i don’t know why , other games are 50-60 %

You should make your own topic as the OP has issue with Disk usage, not RAM so whatever issue you have is unrelated to the OP’s issue.
