So I managed to fix my d-drive (or so I thought) a few weeks ago with some advice from here but for some reason it's starting to mess up again. (The drive hasn't even been used).
My pc keeps running slowly/not shutting down when I click shut down/not responding when using file explorer/crashing when I use OBS Studio to record or live stream and I'm not sure how to fix it.
This just popped up when I did a chkdsk on the drive.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
