I can’t see how this would effect your hard drive. Unless you are have low GB’s of RAM and you are using virtual memory (an allocation of space on your hard drive to be used as if it was RAM. How much GB memory do you have installed?? I have 16GB and it opens fine, as long as I don’t have anything else going on in the back ground. 8GB should be enough but slow opening. if you have that or more check your virtual memory settings as it maybe set too high or prioritise the hard drive over the RAM.
You probably know this but I used to work for a company building PC’s, laptops and servers to order, but there is a lot of hidden settings most people don’t know about. especially in Windows OS.
