Windows 10 File Explorer and certain programs become unresponsive when using an SSD.
Windows 10 File Explorer and certain programs become unresponsive when using an SSD.
Open explorer.exe or restart the whole system, Windows 10 just being Windows 10... You can actually run the computer without Explorer at all.
That’s how I handle it when it happens, but what’s the best way to do it?
Consider removing the WD blue drive from the PC, maybe because it's quite old. Edit: But of course if the stuff you're checking is only on SSD... Then it could be that. I'd go ahead without an HDD anyways.
I actually support testing without an HDD. Handling large amounts of data isn't the same as real system use. Your SSD isn't great, but it's not terrible either. Among the most affordable SSDs, this is likely one of the top picks. Personally, I've trusted Adata SSD drives—this is my third option.
I didn't grasp the point about "Reading a lot of data isn't the same as system operations." My Windows runs on an SSD, not an HDD. I tried using the PC without the HDD, and so far there hasn't been a freeze. The freezes have occurred only 1-3 times a day at most, with the system restarting around 10 AM each day.
