Hello,

Sorry my english.

Windows 10 puts my ext. hdd in iddle mode, beacuse I dont use it a lot, but when I open Opera GX my hdd start to work.

Why Opera GX activates my external hard disk?

Is very annoyning.

Thanks!

@steveharis22 Not solved, but look the image attached.

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?

@leocg Is my suposition, I will test open a fresh instalation of Opera GX with no bookmarks imported and e-hdd in iddle mode.

@steveharis22 No plugins. However I have activated ad blocker from internal Opera GX function.

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

@tristan Believe me, it does. 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.
