First, I just have to say that I am disgusted Microsoft has not fixed a problem that people have been posting about for at least 5 years. Pathetic customer and technical service. Had to get that off my chest.
Okay, so you never mention if running a scan actually shows any errors. If you see bad sectors, get a new drive before losing everything on your hard drive. If not, a software update may be conflicting with another program. I have had to remove Lavasoft Adaware because it was causing this problem. I have also more recently had to give up on AVG free anti-virus and rely on Windows Defender because of software incompatibility with Windows 10 after Windows uploaded many updates, any of which could be causing problems.
I would strongly suggest you try disabling or removing either of those programs starting with Adaware to see if it might be causing problems. It is cheaper than buying a hard drive without knowing if there is a problem with the one you have.
I can't really suggest anything beyond that except what I already said about bad sectors showing up after a scan of the disk. If it is only a software compatibility problem, and removing the program fixes the problem right away, you should definitely report it to the company involved since it is just as much their fault for not keeping up to date with changes in Windows as Microsoft's fault for such poor programming.
Again, five years or more of people having the same problem, and no fix from Microsoft. How can you possibly justify this? A terrible monopoly that doesn't want to hear from its customers or solve problems. It is long past time for a competing Operating System backed by the major computer manufacturers to come on the market. That's the only real solution.
So I keep getting this same error message, I have NO external drives connected to my Toshiba Laptop running Win10, only thing connected is receiver for wireless mouse. I reBoot it runs the scan and then maybe 4 or 5 days go by and it pops up again. This
HHD has been re-imaged 3 times using the Factory restore....so each time before the restore the HHD is completely wiped clean and formatted. It is out of warranty and Toshiba wants a bunch of money to try to ...and they even say TRY, fix this re-occurring
issue. I have always run the recommended scan, you reboot and the scan starts. I did notice there are more aggressive scans that maybe are more aggressive is repairing issues??? yes, if so, suggested command to use?
