Ian Barker AVG Firewall Causes 100% disc usage W10
I have recently experienced problems with W10 crashing and slow starting. This seems to be due to 100% Disc usage showing on Task Manager which can be cleared by turning AVG Automatic Firewall off.
I have it on Interactive Mode at the moment which is a pain but has also cleared the problem.
My Updates are all on auto and up to date.
Has anyone any thoughts on how to get the firewall back to automatic please?

If the issue persist even after changing the Firewall mode to automatic, please try to run repair installation of AVG once.
To repair your AVG please follow these instructions:

According to the screenshot you shared, AVG services are using considerably low disk, Ram and CPU. This is normal behavior.
