Slow, freezing computer and thousands of java web launchers in taskmanager

[Nymue]

My windows 10 computer was suddenly extremely slow and kept freezing after a few minutes after starting up. I noticed that the disc in the taskmanager was at 100% all the time and that thousands of "Java Web Launcher" were running in the background, multiplying untill they hit 8000 and my pc froze.

I ran the java uninstaller tool (java was scaring me) in save mode, since my computer was inoperable but the uninstaller failed.

Also, I have already reverted back to the only restoration point I had from two days ago, but this didnt resolve the issue.

If anyone can help me I would be so grateful.

Okay, I've gone ahead and renamed javaws.exe to axe.BAK and then uninstalled using the oracle unistaller and the java problem has been solved.

My pc is a lot faster now, but the disc still hits 100% a lot even when there's nothing open. So I'm still a little concerned.

Any tips for fixing this?

Thank you so much for helping me! The freezing has started happening again. If I don't do anything on the computer, it will gradually revert to normal percentages disc use, but if I open anything, especially internet it goes up again, so I'm really grateful that you take your time to help me out.
