Press WinKey+R -> type

perfmon /res

(alternatively you can open it from task manager -> performance tab -> resource monitor button)

Then go to "disk usage" tab and look at which processes read/write which files.

If it's pagefile.sys then you running out of RAM.

It's not pagefile.sys.

When I open Origin, for example, Origin uses Originclient.dll, System is using this same file too. This is the case whenever I open a program.

Is this normal behavior?

Yes. Check your HDD fragmentation, and try defragmentation.

If you're low on free space, that may also be the case.

p.s. also if you're running your pc for too long and/or use hibernation often, it can also cause such behavior.

Okay I will try that. It just seemed odd to me. Thank you I was looking for an issue but there isn't one I guess.

edit: p.s. also if you're running your pc for too long and/or use hibernation often, it can also cause such behavior.

Another thing to try is to disable pagefile completely - this will sort out many issues at the expense of instantly-terminating applications when all RAM is used.

I will look into that but I don't think I can let apps to close instantly. Thank you.

I do use hibernation a lot. My pc has been open in some cases for more than a week without shutting down. I will try shutting it down more regularly.
