My Windows 10 task manager shows the disk usage of C: (the system
hard
disk) and E: (a memory card socket). This is quite annoying as the
total
disk usage shows 50% when the hard disk is fully utilised, because
it's
including the empty memory card socket. Any way of stopping it
including
the memory card socket in the calculation?

See if this doesn't help.

If you've made a pool for storage space, this may be causing what
you're
seeing in Task Manager.

I have no pools. Just a standard 1TB rotary hard disk and a camera
card
reader.

Alright then... Are you referencing 'space used' or 'performance'

Task manager calls it "active time" in the performance tab. In the
processes tab (where it's annoying me), it's just a %.

In Task Manager, under the Process tab where you are seeing x% usage,
which
processes are being used? You can click on the column label % and it
will
then show the most used processes at that time at the top.

Yes I know I can sort them by most used.

You do realize that the Performance Active time is not the same as the
percentage of time the disk is being used by a Process.

The % listed at the top of the disk column in the processes tab is
identical to the active time % on the performance tab.

To get a better visualization, look at the Memory process column and you
will see how much memory is being used by each process. If you were to
run
a disk utility and view it under Performance, you would see the
percentage
of time the disk is being used.

Also, the SDHC card should not be showing in the Performance tab.

Agreed, but it's there and I'd like rid of it.

If it is, then possibly something under "Storage Sense" where the SDHC
card (and all
drives show) and look at "More storage Settings" Change where content
is
saved.

Anything in any of the categories show anything but "This PC (C"

I'm not familiar with storage sense, please go into more detail.

Did you look where I referenced to see if the SDHC is being used?

For Storage Sense details - here's one reference:

I don't know what you want me to look at. Under storage sense, more storage settings, change where content is saved, everything is listed as C:, not the SDHC card.

And I don't understand what storage sense has to do with the task manager.
