Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
CHKDSK finding things usually indicates defective hardware (drive).
EA Records are Extended Attribute records. They're a feature of NTFS that allows for a file to have custom extra metadata stored along with it (metadata that is not interpretable to the file system).
Why, specifically, yours might have problems - I cannot say.
I know about chkdsk, i trigered disk check to ensure all is ok, but i cannot determine why EA records take so long (aprox. 2 records per sec from currently 43366 records
I have this issue only on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 is atleast 10x faster with more EA records
