Re: Is Windows 10 Faking Disk Corruption Notifications to force a scan/upload of user files?
The "Scanning for Errors" notification has been there since XP. It indicates the drive wasn't cleanly unmounted the last time it was used, and that could've come from whatever last used it, some of which lack the facility to to properly unmount the drive. Windows installs can be instructed to treat highly-portable USB drives differently so you don't have this problem, at the cost of performance since it means Windows can't use advanced drive management on them.
