“My question is: why does my drive activity light just keeps running and running ?”

Mine does that often these days. When I check the processes it’s usually downloading Microsoft updates. If you find your computer doing this on Tuesday or Wednesday when you turn it on, that is a likely cause.

Your anti virus could be running a scan or your system could be doing a diagnostic? Something like that and you worry that someone is using your computer for storage.

If you have anti virus, disconnect, start in safe mode and run a scan. Others may have some suggestions. (someone may have already answered the questions! G.L.!
