[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1826886, member: 396914"] The OP has a very strange (and to me, inefficient) setup. The internal drive is apparently all Win10 for one use, a scanner, and he boots into MacOS from an external SSD, which is now showing issues. Now if it were me, I'd partition the internal into two drives, put WIn10 on one, macOS on the other and use Option at boot time to pick the one I want to boot from. It seems a real shame to have the speed of an SSD throttled by the USB interface, even if it is the latest USB protocols. Or just have the internal drive as all macOS, get Parallels and install Win 10 in that as a virtual machine and run the scanner software there. At least then the boot is from the internal drive. And. would tackle getting the scanner to work with macOS. The OP didn't say which Canon it is, but surely there is something that can use the scanner as the OP wants without having to muck with Win10. [/QUOTE]
