Nuka 0 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Every once in a while Eset keeps waking up hard disks from sleep (to do a startup scan), is there a way to disable it please? I am using ssd on main os with hard disks set to sleep when no activity. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,929 Posted April 29, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 29, 2015 A startup scan is run only upon the start of the operating system or after an update. Update obviously requires writing to the disk and there's no way how to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuka 0 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the quick reply, so what you are telling me is that update writes to my idle hard disks as well the os ssd where Eset is installed? I simply want to know if there is an option to disable scanning hard disks after every update that are in idle state.

Administrators Marcos 4,929 Posted April 30, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 30, 2015 I assume you're not referring to the system disk where user profiles and temp. folders are located, right? You can try temporarily disabling startup scan tasks in Scheduler just to see if that helps. Of course, leaving them disabled permanently is not a good idea as you'd effectivily disable an important protection layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweX 871 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I would first try to only disable the startup scan that runs after each successful VSD update. BUT leave the startup scan that runs shortly after boot enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
