I've read that a lot of people are having this problem, but nothing I try works. Disk usage will remain low until I launch a program like Skype. When I do, it will say that Skype uses around 1 megabyte, which is apparantly 100% of my disk capacity. Response is slow and I can't really do much. I've gone into task manager and I've checked what I/O is reading and writing the most, and before I disabled it, it had been Windows Search, and after, it seems it's SVChost and System.

It's definitely not malware or anything-- I've formatted and reinstalled my entire computer, which I had hoped would fix the problem. It didn't. I am sitting here with a fresh install of Windows 8, a powerful computer, and still it is freezing up. I really need your help, guys! It's driving me nuts.

The solution is:

  1. Download SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi.
  2. Get the file (Skype.exe) from within it.
  3. Move and replace (Skype.exe) into "Program Files\Skype\Phone\" (for example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone")
  4. Before you open Skype you can delete the cache Otherwise Enjoy :D

OR

2.Uninstall Skype using [Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features]

3.Delete : "Skype" Folder from "Program Files\" (for example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\")

4.Delete the folder : "Skype" from "Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming" (or for example: "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming")

5.Install Skype by SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi Enjoy :D

The Problem is:

for more information about this problem, you can search Google, but it seems that's an I/O problem with noSQL databases :/ and here a good description of the problem Loading Delays, Computer Lagging, and Repeat Direct I/O Disk.

Anyway it's because something messy in the last update of Skype 6.11
