Windows 10 starts on a regular hard disk spinning up.
It's clear you're dealing with unwanted vibrations from your hard drives. They seem to be causing noise even when the system is quiet, especially at night while browsing. The issue persists despite a fresh Windows installation and no active programs or games running. You've tried disabling the defender and excluding partitions from real-time scans, but the problem continues. It might be worth checking if a future update resolves this permanently, bringing it back to the behavior seen in older versions like Windows 7 or 8.1.
