If your computer is taking longer than usual to open files and the hard drive light stays on longer, it could indicate that the hard drive is struggling to read or write data efficiently. This may be due to fragmentation, low disk space, or a failing hard drive. It's advisable to back up your important data immediately and run diagnostics to check the health of the hard drive. If issues persist, consider seeking professional help or replacing the hard drive.
