windows 10 reads backup drive

Hello, when I play music on media player win 10 reads my backup drive and accesses the internet this slows the computer and media player locks up. Is win 10 storing on the cloud?

its more than likely trying to get the album info for all the tracks.

Sounds likely, I'll check if the drive activity stops when media player downloads stop Cheers

Media player is not downloading, still could be doing a search for info like you said. Regards Herman

yeah it doesnt download, just the track listings and album covers if it can but does take a while if your music collection is large

ok thanks for your help
