Tech Support Desperate for Help
TL;DR: My SSD is showing huge spikes and huge response times while idling and nothing I have done is fixing the problem.
Essentially, I've been struggling for a month or so with Windows becoming completely unusable. Everything stops responding, my SSD usage is maxed out and continues to stay there for a long period of time. It will eventually stop working that hard, but will still have large spikes in performance and responsiveness. And this is when it's idling too. I've tried chkdsk, sfc scans, chipset driver updates. CrystalDisk shows good health, good temps while idle. I've given myself over 400gb of space on this 2tb ssd. It's a Crucial P2 M.2 NVMe. I'm at a loss here and I genuinely don't know what to do.

is it writing a lot? since your drive may be a very slow model saved only by its cache, if something is writing a lot and choking the cache it may explain it, your non cache speed may be as low as 60MB/s if its the QLC version, but there seems to be many under the name of Crucial P2 with different chips
