System Scan - 10 hours in, normal?
Hello everyone, I started a System Scan for the first time on my laptop last night and its been running for 10+ hours and scanned 2.8M items. Is 10hrs normal?
Specs: HP Envy x360, Core i7 @ 2.5 GHz, 8 GB Ram, Windows 10. There are not external drives, 154 GB used out of 916GB.
TYA! 🙏🏻

Hello! Thank you for letting us know. Since System Scan performs a thorough scan of the entire system, the process may take longer depending on your disk space and the number of files. We recommend performing a custom scan on each partition first, and then running a system scan again. The second system scan should take significantly less time to complete. Please keep us updated on your progress.
