Brink Administrator Administrator mvp Messages 25,263 Apr 22, 2014 #4 Hello bluzeboy, This sounds like it may be AutoPlay doing the "Open device to view files (File Explorer)" after the external drive has been detected at startup. Double check your AutoPlay settings to set the external drive to "Take no action" to see if that stops this. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/30511-autoplay-turn-off-windows-8-a.html Hope this helps, Shawn My Computer System One OS 64-bit Windows 10 Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Custom self built CPU Intel i7-8700K OC'd to 5 GHz Motherboard ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula Z390 Memory 64 GB (4x16GB) G.SKILL TridentZ RGB DDR4 3600 MHz (F4-3600C18D-32GTZR) Graphics Card(s) ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING Sound Card Integrated Digital Audio (S/PDIF) Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Samsung Odyssey G7 27" Screen Resolution 2560x1440 Hard Drives 1TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2, 4TB Samsung 990 PRO PRO M.2, 8TB WD MyCloudEX2Ultra NAS PSU OCZ Series Gold OCZZ1000M 1000W Case Thermaltake Core P3 Cooling Corsair Hydro H115i Keyboard Logitech wireless K800 Mouse Logitech MX Master 3 Internet Speed 1 Gb/s Download and 35 Mb/s Upload Browser Internet Explorer 11 Antivirus Malwarebyte Anti-Malware Premium Other Info Logitech Z625 speaker system, Logitech BRIO 4K Pro webcam, HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdn, APC SMART-UPS RT 1000 XL - SURT1000XLI, Galaxy S23 Plus phone
