    No need, if you have a forums you can use for that. Seems the driver can't serve under all circumstances.

    ?????? If you touch the drive you could feel it will run (or not)!

    For to be precize, I've that problem with drives more than 500GB capacity! a 1TB drive need about 5-6s to run normal while a 2GB drive need about 8s! I use WD and Hitachi drives only.

    And I'm not sure it's the drives or the MB, I got that problem started with Win8!

    They already get filtered. You just have to search a few of the top posts to get the most appropriate answers.
    Anyway, replying to an old thread will move the thread up to the top.
    There's no reason to create a new one.
    It goes to the same place.

    afaik you could be ian82 but then my joojoo juice is spoiled today too, so I dunno haha


    anyway. Sounds like a tweak was done that causes it, something with cache perhaps? Or as pisthai said, maybe a second drive is spinning up.

    The only time I've noticed this is when I disabled Windows Defender and installed the recent defender kbfile.
    If you've done anything in relation to a/v or windows defender, there's your problem and solution.

    I will perhaps do a reinstall tomorrow morning to see if something went wrong there though it does not seem likely.
    Anything to do with fast startup.
    This happens only on start and say after 10-15 secs goes away. It does not even happen all the time but enough of the time to make it a problem.

    OH FFS I thought you had an actual problem.
    That's just windows pre-loading everything on boot.
    It even occurs in win7, it's just not as noticeable.

    Sorry but I will rather not install it. Thanks anyway.
    I have always had a stable system in 7, 8, 8.1 (till this recent problem).

    That's your choice bro, no worries :cool: & you are right Windows 7 & 8 didn't have explorer problems...these crashes & freezes started from Windows 8.1 preview & is still present in 8.1 update 1...but only a few people experience this bug...Thus it's ignored by Microsoft

    Would say it's not ignored, but most probably hard to determine the actual source of the problem amongst gazillion of possible hard/software setups :g:.

    Yeah, that's most probably the reason that a fix hasn't been released :huh:
