Hello All
For about the last week I have experienced 100% Hard Drive activity lasting up to 4 to 5 minuets, according to Task Manager the culprit is WAAMEDIC AGENT EXE. It appears to be random as it does not show up in Task Manager every time. It has been suggested to me (not by an expert) that Microsoft is using this to collect data from my PC. Any advice would be welcomed.
