Anybody else noticed a steady HD activity light on a Dell Optiplex 7020 lately? I'm pretty sure this started after Windows 10 "April update". The first morning I saw it I said "oh s**t" but when I woke the monitor from sleep the light went out and just started acting normal. My pc is set for high performance power plan so I don't notice this during the day. On following mornings I checked with Blue Iris app on phone before I accessed the pc and it shows normal low cpu & memory usage, so other than the light coming on solid during the night everything is normal. I was just curious if other people had noticed this behavior. Other than the panic of thinking my cpu was maxed the first time I saw it all seems ok.
