    Delay to see files immediately after download (HDD already spinning?)


    My browser is set to download files to an HDD (not my system disk SSD). Sometimes after downloading them, I like to go and access them in the file browser. I'm often confronted with the image below and I was hoping someone could tell me why? I think, in order to download to this drive, the HDD should already be spinning. Why do I have to wait (like >10 seconds) to see my files?

    Hi, this may help - redundant indexing locations:
    Slow Green progress bar in File Explorer - possible solution - Microsoft Community

    or this about thumbnail generation:
