We know that when the directory structure is listed in the Disk Management application-the effect is similar to "explorer", "File Manager" (under Windows NT 3.xx/4.0), and the dir command under DOS, the system will update the last visited date each time the directory is displayed or accessed. Time stamp, we can stop this senseless consumption, open "Registry Editor", find [hkey_local _machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\filesystem], find in the right pane Ntfsdisablelastaccessupdate, change the value to 1.
If the key is not found, create a new double-byte value [REG_DWORD], named Ntfsdisablelastaccessupdate, and set the value to 1.
Disable the "Automatically search network folders and Printers" option by clicking on the Control Panel--Folder options, click View, such as:
