SOLVED External Drives will not stop running.

Turn off Autoplay. Settings/Devices/Autoplay/off
Reboot computer. Worked for me. Leave autoplay off, use only as needed.

Also; unless you are using it, get rid of Microsoft "One Drive". I suspect this is the real problem in this matter.
Start/Apps/Apps and features/ go down list to One Drive/Delete.

One Drive tries to upload files to the internet for internet storage, if you enable it; I suspect it is also trying to check the files, even if you don't use it. I use external save drives, and don't need it. Deleted it.

Why yes, I always love doing that. And for anyone saying "update drivers" (2 replies) I did that first.
