That's indicative of your computer being busy handling background tasks / processes.
You can use Resource Monitor to examine your cpu, disk, network and memory items to see what has your computer so busy
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Resource Monitor
A new install will stay pretty busy for as much as an hour or two but the intense activity should subside gradually over time.
IF not you may want to perform a clean boot

And see if you can zero in on the offending culprit.

dacte02, very interested in knowing if you came up with anything on this. I'm having the same problem and I have tried to use the task manager to view what is using up the resources, but I have yet to figure it out. Did you find anything that worked for you?
