When clicking on any item - folder or file - in Windows Explorer for a USB2
external drive, there is a four/five second delay till that item gets
highlighted. Happens every time only for one particular external drive.
During that time everything is frozen.
Except for this delay everything works fine.
Do we need to look out for anything? Drive tested free of malware and
viruses.
Regards and thanks for any insights.
