Sounds like maybe the devices are on standbyto save power and are
taking time to come back online.

Most online sites suggest defragmenting or at least running a file
system check (and always make sure you use "remove hardware safely" in
Windows before unplugging them or switching them off, of crse).

E.g.

But you said, i think, it's been like this for a long time, so power
options sound more likely (or a virus, of course) --
