Stuck at unpacking

[Buzzkillington]

I have 2 computers both with DCS installed, for some reason the gaming computer (which is much newer and faster) has an issue with getting updates where it downloads and then sits at unpacking for around 18 hours.  I have tried completely removing DCS and reinstalling it and I get the same issue.  When i do the update on my other machine (which is 6 years older) it takes 20 minutes to download and install.   I don't have any virus scan installed, not sure what else to try to change.  This is DCS standalone not steam.  Plenty of hard disk and ram, using an NVME drive.  Not a network issue because the other machine is on the same LAN.

Check your Windows event log, make sure there are no disk errors:

 

 

(my disks have not had any problem, so I used some cd errors to illustrate)

That's good advice, there are a million disk errors for bad blocks.  I guess I know who is getting a new hard disk.   Do you know how to tell which of my 2 drives is \device\harddisk0\DRO?

Use the Windows Disk Manager, it tells which is disk 0, 1 and so on.
