Why such a long time to interrogate a cd drive with MY PC
I have Windows 10. This problem began with all of my computers that have Windows 10. When I insert a cd or dvd into drive D a progress bar comes up and will take up to 85 seconds to complete. This is even if there are only ten files on the cd. I am guessing that all Windows 10 machines are doing this, but I hope not. I have 85 discs to go through and more fully document their contents. This will delay me significantly. Is there any way to cut the delay down?

No, not all Windows 10 computers. I just popped a DVD into my Desktop. It took almost 15 seconds to open the Auto Play window (normal for a CD / DVD) but by then Windows Explorer had displayed the drive contents.
It should be all done in less than 30 seconds.
How did you get to Windows 10 (Upgrade from Windows 7)?
Try running System File Checker. Open an admin command prompt and run SFC /SCANNOW. Allow to complete, shut down, start up, and test.

Hi John, I got these upgrades by letting my computers accept the free upgrade.
Please tell me how to open admin command prompt. I can open the standard command but have never needed to use an elevated level.

Experts, I have tested this computer for three days and the problem is either elusive or has disappeared. I suppose that is a good thing. I will check back in if it ever appears again. Thanks a heap!
