i have big problem of viewing folders within flash drive. i click computer. but folders within flash drive are not showing up. it takes a while for folders to show. i have a lot of folders to sift through.
this has happened frequently. iam running a few portable programs so maybe thats partly to blame? any hints to resolve this would be nice

"compaq presario F700 series"
AMD turion 64x2
1.95GB out of 220GB
32-bit O.S.

Windows 10 doesn't have the checkboxes any more. If it finds a problem in the quick scan, it asks to repair it.
The best way, as usual, is the command line chkdsk, but not everyone is comfortable with a TUI.

its the same thing again. only this time when try open up a window, it displays as blank. it takes up to 38 secs till everything loads. i did a factory reset last year btw. as well as 2 minor BSOD instances. my pc will celebrate 8 year anniversary come july 4th. its virutually hanging by thin life line. its like iam giving it CPR when i know its dying slowly.
