Suprise Removed-1Tb WD harddrive disappeared
The activity was within Photoshop CC 2015.5, duplicated layers and applying object move. The .psd is a large file 450Mb and then I had duplicated a layer group so the size likely increased more. The Scratch Disk was the 1Tb Wd drive( Drive I) Photoshop stopped responding, did not have the words 'NOT Responding' but no response to mouse clicks. Closed it with Task Manager.
I thought there might be remnants of this file edits in the scratch disk and that's when I discovered there was NO drive.
The Event viewer reported Surprise Remove.
I thought this only applied to USB
Shut down and restart. That removed drive I reappeared and any content was intact.
I am on the latest Win10 (222) and there is Distributed DCOM error1016 at start up since the Sept updates and now App Readiness Errors 10 and 214 after the last update Sept 30. Meanwhile the performance reliability graphic has been a level high positioned line all month and no record of this photoshop issue and surprise removed disk.
By this time I had discovered that scratch disk contents are supposed to clear out. I just wondered what contributes to 'Surprise Remove' because I'm considering having a service tech check out the hardware in the desktop.
