100% use of the disk in the Task Manager when you use Photoshop CC (8.1-64-bit Windows)

Hello

I have been using Adobe CC for a month or two now. I have an Asus laptop with Intel Core i7 (2.4 GHz), 6 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk space and 64 bit, almost 6 months old. Following apps are installed: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Acrobat Pro XI, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. I recently did an update through Adobe CC for Photoshop and Illustrator, all the others are up to date.

I think, but I could be wrong, since this update Photoshop is weird on my laptop. When I run Photoshop, my task manager immediately indicates a rate of 100% of my use of the disk. This seems to be off, after it is fully operational, but when I start to edit a file, the use of the disc immediately breaks back to 100%, while the CPU remains below 10%, RAM stays 3, 5-3, 8 GB (only 60% of total capacity) and even the actual read and write speeds of my HARD drive are not particularly high (5-10 MB max). And because of the use of the disk of 100%, Photoshop freezes in an instant and operating it is almost impossible.

I already uninstalled Photoshop, passed all services and * that could trigger it in Windows 8.1 (Google search for: 8.1 Windows disk use 100%), re-installed Photoshop and I still have the same problem.

So, I was wondering if there could be a solution to this problem or if anyone else has this problem as well?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: this error only applies when trying to manipulate, add, change or delete the text. All other functions (unrelated to the text) seem to work fine.

Check out this help file: troubleshooting fonts | CS6 2014 CC, CC, Photoshop, CS5

You can also try resetting Photoshop preferences and increasing the amount of ram available to Photoshop, if troubleshooting doesn't help.

    Hi Joseph,.

    Follow these steps.

    Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on automatic updates.

    Check mark the option at the bottom to turn off the automatic updates.

    Click apply/OK, and then restart.

    Svchost consumes always 100% cycles CPU?

    If this is the case, follow these steps.

    Click Start, run, copy and paste this command and click OK: services.msc

    In the list of Services, you can see Background Intelligent Transfer Service ?

    Here's a pix what he looks like.

    If it is not listed, follow these steps to register the BITS service.

    Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

    Research should show this file in the following locations:

    C:\Windows\System32
    C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

    It may be present in C:\WINDOWS\system32, but if you can see it, follow these steps to register the service.

    Click on start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK

    Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

    Reboot the system and then copy / paste this command into the field run:
    %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

    If you are prompted to insert the Windows installation CD, ignore this and in the dialog below, replace the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If you could only see qmgr.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 you can change the path to that instead.

    Restart the PC and then go to the Services and you should be able to see BITS in the list.
    Double click on it and then on the general tab, click the Start button to start the service manually. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

    If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
    Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

    Reboot again and try once more to start the PIECES. It should work fine now, but in the unlikely case where it fails again, run the following command, and then press ENTER:
    Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

    Reboot once more and then do the following.

  • Not maximizing the task bar when you click on Windows Explorer

    When I place the mouse on the icon of the program in the taskbar Windows Explorer the small preview window/s is displayed but will not maximize in a large window.  When I click on it or right click "optimize" on the spotted, that nothing is happening.

    In fact, probably we maximize or restore, but off the screen where you can not see.  This happened to me sometimes as well.

    Try this:

    1. hold SHIFT key and right-click on the icon in the task bar (or right click on the preview you did).
    2. choose the entrance to restore if it is not gray.
    3 hold down the SHIFT key and click again on the icon in the taskbar.
    4. now, choose the entry of moving.
    5. without doing anything else, press one of the arrow keys (for example, the arrow on the left) of the keyboard.
    6. without anything click, move the mouse.  Your window should appear on the screen.
    7. click on the mouse to move the window, then you can resize or other to be where you want.

    I suspect that this is a problem in several screen of Windows 7 support, and that the window actually believes that it is off on another monitor, even if you have no other active monitor.

  • Iexplore.exe process still running in the Task Manager

    I was see multiple iexplore.exe processes in the Task Manager when I'm not in IE, so to trouble shoot it I uninstalled IE, run several different scans/squared (which found nothing) and iexplore.exe is still appear in the Task Manager. I guess that it is some sort of virus since I uninstalled IE and it is always showing to run. No idea how to do the trick of it? I am running XP.

    IF IE 8 was present in the control panel > add or remove programs, then when you have uninstalled it from there, you have restored the previous version of Internet Explorer, in other words, IE 7.

    The best way to confirm this is to start IE and then click Help > topic.

    There is malware that disguises itself as iexplore.exe.  If you see iexplore.exe or Iexplore.exe in msconfig or in the Task Manager after Windows startup, but you did manually start Internet Explorer, you probably don't have a problem.
    What antivirus applications you scan with?

    If you haven't already done so, I suggest to do the following:

    Run a scan virus online with the eSet online scanner (may require a download if you are using a version of Internet Explorer)

    Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free)

    Download, install, update and run SUPERAntiSpyware

    You can uninstall all the latter after their use, if you wish.

  • My CPU usage is at 100%, but the task manager says that nothing is more than using 01%

    Last night, I installed the updates for Windows 7 during the stop, as I normally do. He said there are four updates, and one went by pretty quickly. It seemed to get stuck on the second (even though he probably didn't want to - the blue ORB turned and the dots are moving, so I guess it's to large or slow) for a few minutes, three update took slightly less time and at the time he obtained for the release of four, I was paying attention just because I was so tired.

    In any case, I went to start my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) and on black splash screen "starting windows" with the flag/banner, he said that he needed install/configure 360 some odd updates. I had seen this before, although I do not remember how recently, so I thought nothing of it. I still don't know if it meant something significant.

    Now the problem is that my CPU usage is constantly at 100%, yet when I finally managed to open the Task Manager, NONE of the listed processes use anything more than 1%, and those who fluctuate. I can easily boot into safe mode, and from there, I have disabled the start of the process, such as taskbar support and itunes things google related, but I still boot normally to 100%.

    Any ideas? It would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm going to College next year and I really don't want to worry about finding how to get a new machine.

    Thank you!

    Hi Renae92,

    1. You have security software installed on the computer?
    2. High CPU usage occurs after the boot process?

    Method 1

    As the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest you run the troubleshooter of performance and check if it helps.

Now, all I get is a Google search page, with a few buttons on the top like images, etc. There is no way to close the program without using the Task Manager. I downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed, but the problem has not disappeared. Operating system is Windows XP Professional

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).

    It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and bars scrolling down.

    • Use Restore or expand in the context menu of the taskbar icon to set the focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the window of Firefox.
    • Open the system menu of the window of Firefox via Alt + space and see if you can move and resize the window (use the arrows on the keyboard).

    If it works, then first close all other open windows of Firefox and then close Firefox via "file > exit/Quit" to save the setting.
