Windows 10: Is it normal for a laptop with 512gb ssd having over 800000 files?

I was highschoolers that uses laptop for gaming, schoolwork, and multimedia software. So, few hours ago I installed pirated games and run it on administrator which is my fault also, and iI think theres something wrong on my laptop so I do a full scan and I saw over 800,000 files in my device, also knowing theres 1 trojan virus hidden and I removed it. I dont know if its normal or its because some kind of virus left hidden and cant be detected by windows defender, or another reasons. I had offlinescan and it detect over 59000 files but stopped at 91%. Like, what makes full scan and offline

:)

 

External SATA3 SSD to USB (512GB Crucial MX100 SSD) showing up as a Hard drive in Windows 10 Defragment and optimize drives?

Hi Anup,

Thanks again for your response, suggesting a Windows 10 System Restore &/or using the file history to restore files.

I have been using the Windows 10 file history feature & backing up my files to the external 512GB Crucial MX100

SATA3 to USB 3.0 SSD ever since installing the full retail version of Windows 10 Home 64-bit USB Flash UEFI onto

my ASUS G751JY notebooks' 512GB OEM Samsung SM951 PCIe (AHCI) M.2 OS SSD.

I've never tried using the Windows 10 file history feature to restore files and also have never attempted to use

the system restore feature. I'll let you know if either method successfully fixes the issue of getting the Windows 10

Defragment and Optimize drives to correctly list the external 512GB Crucial MX100 SATA3 to USB 3.0 SSD as an SSD

(and not as a hard disc drive).

I believe the event occurred after the last Windows 10 update because I recall the drive being listed correctly as an SSD

after initially clean installing Windows 10.

Take care Anup,

Jon Grimes

 

External SATA3 SSD to USB (512GB Crucial MX100 SSD) showing up as a Hard drive in Windows 10 Defragment and optimize drives?

Hi Anup,

Thanks for your suggestions. I ran the Hardware and Devices trouble shooter and it did find a problem with my

Bluetooth adapter (despite the fact that I've never used it and have no Bluetooth devices). I reinstalled and/or

fixed all three ASUS G751JY notebook Windows 10 drivers successfully. However, the external 512GB Crucial MX100

SATA3 to USB3.0 SSD remains listed as hard disc drive on Windows 10 Defragment and Optimize drives feature.

I also tried your second suggestion and ran the DISM using Command Prompt (Admin.).

It returned a Windows 10 latest build 100% system image health. The external 512GB Crucial MX100 SATA3 to USB3.0

SSD still comes up as a hard disc drive in Defragment and Optimize drives Windows 10, Control Panel feature.

Hi Anup,

The Windows 10 Control Panels' Defragment and Optimize drives feature is not a part of the File History.

Therefore, attempting to restore the file history to fix issue of external SATA3 to USB 3.0 SSD listed as a hard disc drive

would be pointless.

Since everything with the external 512GB Crucial MX100 SATA3 to USB 3.0 SSD works correctly I'll leave well enough alone for now and wait for Microsoft to roll out their second Windows 10 fixes. This issue is obviously caused by

one of the Windows 10 updates so hopefully Microsoft will have a future fix for this issue.

Thanks again for all your suggestions and support help.

Thank you,
