Why does Windows 10 keep waking up my external hard drives?

[LiquidX]

For the past month or so my external hard drives have been waking up a lot more frequently. Every few minutes in fact. I made no changes to my system so I suspect it was an update. I's to a point I have to unplug them. What can be causing them to wake up? Anyone else experiencing more frequent hard drive wake-ups as of late?

Windows 10 is the biggest piece of spyware in history. You can guess the rest.

Yup and there's nothing like Windows 10 waking up from sleep in the middle of the night with disk activity.
