What drive is causing a delay in loading 'my computer'?

[ComputerGuy2006]

If I click on 'my computer' (windowsKey + e) it often takes about 10 seconds until all the drives show (it wont show any, then all my drives and NAS resources show up instantly). This indicates to me a drive is causing me issues but in typical MS nonsense its causing the entire window to hang until that one resource is fixed (kind of like a shared folder on the VPN glitching out a folder after you disconnect the VPN)...

What makes this hard to troubleshoot is I can access any drive directly without delay (opening them at their root). On top of that anytime I reboot my computer it seems "my computer" will load fine for a while (so its not like I can start ripping out one HDD at the time waiting for this to trigger).

Other then scanning all the HDDs one painful drive at the time, is there any type of windows log file to help me indicate what is causing this delay?

Not sure what OS you are using, but Windows has the 'event viewer' in the control panel, and Windows 10 has the 'reliability history' where a drive having issues might show up.

Outside of that, the only other thing I can think of is checking each one with 'chkdsk', 'wmic'', or a utility like CrystalDiskInfo:

Look at what all is in My Computer. Do you hear a drive spin up during that 10 seconds? Could be that, but it's most likely a source external to the box, such as a drive (or a device with a drive) plugged in through USB, or another computer (like your NAS) that shows up in my computer.
