windows 10 slow to save files

[GSXR Gaz Mc]

gettin some weird problem and its doin my head in, even after searching all over the net

when i save a file from a browser or photo shop the save dialogue box comes up then i press save and its taking 10-20 secs to save the file..and soon as i click my mouse anywhere i just get the windows asterix/error sound

its like its scanning the files or checking them...ive no antivirus running and ive disabled windows defender

Any issues with your right click/context menus?

Have you checked smart attributes for the drive and/or event viewer logs?

Ever since the recent 1607 updates my tablet has been quite slow working with files - quite often when copying files (including large files) the speeds will stick at around 200-300kbyte/s instead of the usual dozens of mbyte/s. Possibly just another fail with Windows 10.

SSD or HDD? Sounds like it's an HDD platter taking it's time to spin up. I have a few drives in my system and have one particular drive that does this. If so it's nothing to do with Win 10.
