Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.
Try update the ntfs.sys to the newest version.
Try disable 3rd-party software because sometimes there maybe some conflicts.

Best regards,
Molly

HI MollyLu

We tried as you suggested but the issue is still there.
We also upgraded the VMWare drivers and changed the SCSI controller for E drive to VMware pvscsi SCSI controller but still the issue is there.
ITs fine after hours and it was fine on Saturday as well when ther were only few users working.
We noticed that it looks it happens when there is more read/ write operation to Shared Drive (E).

Thanks
