Had this problem on a number of computers running Windows 10.
Current (March 2019) Windows 10 Updates fixes most of this high drive activity.
Spy-Bot’s Anti-Beacon software will block most of MicroSoft’s snoopy telemetry software which also causes much drive activity.

The computer is busy because Windows 10 is doing one of its many updates. Currently (2018) the only easy workaround is : let it run some hours while you are away…
