How about formatting it to ext4? Maybe this will help.

Have you done extremely thorough scans for malware? I don't think everyone is seeing the level of activity in Windows 10 that you describe.

I have a Windows 10 test pc and I don't notice anything unusual happening with my network drive when I fire it up. When you say it's eating up space, have you found what it's filling your drive with? Is it the backup?

This is insightful, it could be malware.

Or Windows Search doing indexing.

No malware in that case, it was clearly "System" that did it. Definitely not index sharing since I checked it and it said "indexing completed". Also that network drive was not in that list.

That network drive was NOT mapped to a drive letter.

I would of guessed that, but deleting photo's? That's gotta be something bad.

Try switching to Windows 95. It's 85 versions ahead of Windows 10.

That's a bit disingenuous. OP already identified that superfetch was accessing network drives.

It's not hard to disable that service.

You can, however, replace that operating system with one that gives you more control over how it operates. Unless you have updatedb in a cron job or mdstat is set to run, I don't think Linux will access your network drives without an explicit user action.

OP said Linux is not an option in this case.
