Scans stalling

Why do my scans now stall for several minutes at 20% and 33% complete?  I also had one scan abort for no known reason.  This is something that just started within the last week.  Scans used to take 5 minutes or less.  I'm running Windows 10 with a terabyte hard drive and an AMD A6 - 3500 processor with 8 gigs of ram.  My hard drive isn't a third full yet and the scans are done with the computer idle.
