Quick troubleshoot questionfor my web browser (Edege) if that's ok.
Didn't want to make a separate thread.

Edge some times freezes for a few seconds, and I can hear that it is booting up my harddrive (which I guess is in idle/sleep mode).
Once the HDD sound is done, my browser is responsive again.

I'm wondering what may be causing this, because as far as I know I have nothing installed on my HDD.
Edge is installed on my NVMe C: drive.
And Downloads from Edge go into my D: drive, which is an SSD.

I thought maybe it migth be that my cache or cookies are for some reason stored on the HDD, but I can't seem to find out.
I only see an option to clear them. Doesn't say where they are stored. (You'd think they'd be on the NVMe though)
