Looking around the web, I would almost guarantee it's Panda. Try booting into safemode and removing it from one of your clients.
I will try that but I also have it on my laptop and have 0 issues on my laptop. If Avast is 'letting virus's through' than you need to reexamine your browsing habits and think long and hard about what you are downloading, installing, and opening. Also for the record, "I used it on my laptop and my laptop has 0 issues" is not helpful, as your laptop has obv. Remember when I spoke of finding the commonality between devices? Unless you have 12 of the same laptop.
With all that said, people have had issues with the upgrade path of Win 10 all over this site and the web. Best practice has been to upgrade to obtain new license, then do a wipe zero out pass, DoD is probably overkill and fresh bare-metal install.
I'd say reinstall. I noticed that many apps that use network connectivity cache a lot of data in RAM. In my case, it is specifically Skype for Business, Box, and Dropbox. But, so did logging off.
I was wondering about this myself. I have noticed on every single Windows 10 upgrade I performed, if you run produkey to see the license they are all the same. On my laptop I see:. I even checked my Dad's desktop the other day and it too had the same exact key all the machines at work had. Does this mean I cannot do a clean install, since I no longer know what the original key was?
All of the machines were OEM Lenovo, dell etc. I would ditch the AV and use windows defender to start with, to ensure that its not a strange windows 10 issue with the AV you are running.

Apr 7, What are you to do? The solution is simple, identify and stop the process that is killing your drive.
There are two methods and tools that you can use to identify the process. I can hear my C hard drive thrashing away when my system is idle, and even when my system is running programs. Thought it might be Firefox that's using the hard drive a lot - checked it out, uses the hd a bit but no more than usual, but I can still hear the hard drive clicking away.
So I close Firefox. Still going. Tried switching browsers to Chrome, and even that doesnt have an awful lot more disk usage per cycle than Firefox did.
But regardless of whether Chrome was open or not, I continue to hear the hard drive thrashing. I checked out Windows Task Manager, but no 1 process shows heaps of disk usage.
I then tried Resource Monitor and 'System' appears at the top of the list of processes sorted by disk usage. But there are heaps of sub-thingos Forgive my jargon ignorance running under 'System', so which one is causing the disk thrashing? I disabled Windows Media Network sharing process that has been suggested on the forums, with no change in disk usage. I also noticed some other errant drivers, perhaps one of these is causing the disk usage problem?
