Hi @Gary Reynolds ,
Those processes are changing all the time.
On the screenshot it can be related to print spooler and the next second it can be anything else like Chrome or Outlook.

Hi guys,
For about several months on a terminal server with Windows Server 2016 I've been observing high disk usage activity.
On the screenshot below it is not even the highest one.
As you can see on the screenshot PID 4 is associated with all users and various apps.
This is resulted in noticeable performance degradation.
I tried to use Process Monitor but this the SMSS is only process I can see under PID 4.
Active time most of the time is above 70% and Disk Queue length most of the time is higher than 1.
Is there a way to find out what causing it?

Hi ITGeek82-8422
From the screenshot, it looks like the high disk usage is associated to the print spool\print queues on the server. You might want to consider moving the print queue to a different server if they are impact the users significantly.
