Maybe the disk is being indexed, could be your anti-virus utility scanning
in the background. Have you checked the Task Manager to see which processes
have highest memory usage and CPU cycles? Could help filter down the
problem. I would also run a scan using the AV or the built in Windows
Defender antispyware utility.

Antivirus software is installed as a device driver/service, it checks the
boot sector of your OS on startup and shutdown. AntiSpyware and Antivirus
also use certain heuristics to check for and find new viruses and spyware.

Check in the Notification at the bottom right of your screen and look if
there is a Macfee icon there, you might have to click the less than arrow to
expand. Right click the Macfee icon > click any available option to disable
it.
