    Hard Drive Spins After Windows update


    After the November update now just about every time I access my C disk or open certain programs I hear my hard drive spin up for a few seconds. I never had this before the update it would only spin up or down when booting or shutting down. How big of a problem is this? I know every updated messes up something requiring a fix but never had it screw up my actual hard drive. I installed no new programs in the previous weeks or months and all drives are up to date. Additionally when I booted back up after the update I got an this Error- Faulting Application Path: C:\Windows\explorer.exeProblem Eve

    Constant hard drive spinning

    I am on a relatives computer, and she is complaining of slow performance, and basically, what it looks like, is the hard drive, is constantly spinning, causing programs to act slow, and causing everything to run slow.
    I have indexing turned off (Windows Vista ) and I just want a list of things I can start going through to check what might be causing the constant spinning.
    She has norton, too. which might be part of the problem..
