If your Stellar scan feels like it’s taking forever - or worse, freezing midway or crashing - don’t panic! In this video, we will show you exactly why that happens and how you can fix it in just a few minutes. These quick tips will help you recover your lost data faster, smoother, and with fewer interruptions. Why Stellar Scans May Seem Slow Sometimes, it’s not the software - it’s what’s happening behind the scenes: - Large drives (1TB or 2TB+) naturally take longer to scan, especially in Deep Scan mode. - Drives with bad sectors or corruption slow down because Stellar carefully reads each damaged area to ensure safe recovery. - Thousands of tiny files (like documents, emails) or large media files (like 4K videos) can stretch out scan time. - Low system RAM, outdated drivers, or antivirus interference may also cause freezing or unexpected shutdowns. - And for external drives, disconnections mid-scan are a common reason for crashes. How to Fix It & Speed Up Your Scan Here’s how to get your recovery back on track: - Use Custom Recovery instead of scanning the entire drive. It’s quicker and more focused. - If your drive has bad sectors, create a disk image first - then recover from that image. It’s safer and faster. - Close all background programs and browsers before starting a scan. - Make sure your system has at least 8 GB RAM if you’re recovering large drives. - Run Stellar as Administrator to avoid permission conflicts. - Add Stellar to your antivirus allow list so it doesn’t interrupt the scan. - For external drives, use a good-quality cable and a stable USB port. - Check that your destination drive has enough free space to save the recovered files. And, if you’re using an older version of Stellar, uninstall it and grab the latest version directly from our official site for the best performance. 👉 https://www.stellarinfo.com/windows-data-recovery.php Bonus Tip: Stellar is built to be thorough - not just fast. That means it digs deep to ensure every recoverable file is found. But by following these simple steps, you’ll get those results much faster and with fewer hiccups along the way. Need More Help?
