I tried everything regarding this issue!!! It still causes high disk usage. It is mentionable that keeping the screen idle for some time reduces the disk usage for the "system" but keeping idle every time is not possible as I have work to do. Please give me solutions other than the below-mentioned steps and let me know if there is software available for this ISSUE. I tried:
1. sfc /scannow
2. All DISM scans
3. Clean boot (only the Realtek HD audio service) needs to be enabled once the clean boot is done
4. Cleaning temp files
5. Running windows memory diagnostic service
6. Checking the health of my Hard Disk
**ALL RESULTS FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED STEPS WERE POSITIVE**

Hello! What I meant is that after I returned from the safe boot, my disk and CPU usage immediately rises to 100% whenever I launch a game or open a browser. The CPU issue is more dominant than the disk usage but still, it slows my pc. For that, I had to uninstall Asphalt 9 from my system last Thursday.

Try run a Defragment, take a look at Defragment your Windows 10 PC (microsoft.com)
You mentioned, you have booted into the Safe Mode, I am wondering did you face the same issue in the Safe Mode?
Hello! I went into safe mode and after coming out of safe mode, my CPU and disk usage is 100% every time I load games. What is it now?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, I didn't install any programs before this issue started. I am using an HDD.
Did you installed any program before this problem started?
Are you using HDD or SSD drive?
Have you tried boot into Safe Mode too? Take a look at Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10 (microsoft.com)
