  2. Windows 10 Constant Hard Drive Activity

    I had this problem too with the HDD light blinking constantly every couple of seconds. I went to Task Manager and began killing running processes and then services until I found the culprit - Wisecare 365. When I turned it back on the HDD light began
    blinking again. It's now a disabled startup item and no blinking HDD.

    I believe you also have to click My Stuff before it searches on the other drives.

    OK so the task bar search is stupid at times.

    But you can still do it the old fashioned way.

    Open file explorer, click on drive, and use its search function.

    I only ever use this as it works!
