My WD Elements external HDD works great, but after being idle in windows 10 for x amount of time it becomes unreadable. The folders are all visible in explorer and able to be navigated but contain none of the files that are ACTUALLY present. When I unplug and replug it in, however, it all gets back to normal. Any idea why this is happening?
I have it setup as my default drive for downloads, and when it isn't 'working' my downloads wont actually download, just stay at 0%, because it can't write to the disk as it isn't technically present.
