When I open Opera, ext-hdd starts but windows monitor shows nothing related to my ext-hdd (letter "D"). But I test importing bookmarks and happens what you see in the capture:

"Taller 4" is where I store my university docs.
"Marcadores_21_7_20.html" is my imported bookmarks file.
"D:$Mft (Tabla maestra de archivos NTFS)" I know what it is, but not what Opera does.
Etc.

So, what is happening?

I have imported bookmarks from html file from e-hdd, thats the only thing I do with e-hdd and Opera GX.

Maybe that is the cause?

Can a ad blocker activate de e-hdd? Why?

Obviously Opera GX is not installed in the e-hdd. I have a fresh instalation of windows 10, no plugins, no other software opened and happens.

If you think the problem is between PC and chair, I have imported bookmarks from html file from e-hdd, thats the only thing I do with e-hdd and Opera GX.

Each time I open Opera GX it looks for the html bookmark file in the e-hdd?

I'm technician, I know what I do, sorry.

May be it was due to Ad blocker.

If you installed opera GX on your E-HDD than that could be it. But opera GX doesnt have a feature to open E-HDD, Opera would had said there was such a feature on release. Think this is more a u problem than a opera problem.
