"the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" error in normal boot mode, but clean in safe mode
I have a NAS drive that is showing "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" errors. The drive array is a large one at 16 terabytes or so.
When I boot into safe mode, I can read all directories that had errors with no issues.
What is the difference between safe mode and normal boot mode, when it comes to reading a hard disk (this one is connected through USB)?

It takes 24+ hours to run a chkdsk on 16tb of data with a sector check over USB. Working on it. :-)

Update - The sfc /scannow found no errors. The scandisk reported several errors that were fixed. But the issue is still there. Now going through disabling services/programs. Will keep you updated.

The solution by LeeTutor solved the problem. It was a USB turbo drive, and a USB driver monitor that was added by third party software, for a controller card that is not being used. Commented out their execution in the registry and problem solved.
Thank you LeeTutor.

Have you run chkdksk /f /r form elevated command prompt? Also try sfc /scannow
