Hello,

• 
  How exactly are you importing files from the camera to External hard drive?

  When you say “Windows 10 starts to "process" each file” what exactly happens?
  

For now I suggest you to run the hardware troubleshooter and try connecting the external hard disk to a different USB port check the status of this issue.

Follow the steps to run the troubleshooter:

• Click on Start button, type ‘Troubleshooting’ and click
