Why does Windows spin up hard when opening files from SSD?

The system is installed on the SSD (during installation, it will physically turn off all HDDs), there is a text file on the desktop. I open it with a double click (it opens in the default notepad), and I get the start of the HDD disk (moreover, the file also freezes when opened until the HDD turns on).
What kind of nonsense? Why? How to make sure that the system does not touch hards? What would they start only when there is an appeal directly to them?

I can not find a comment where a person wrote for VirtualBox. Perhaps the person who wrote it has already deleted it. Therefore, I will write the answer in the question.
Through win10tweaker in services, I disabled a bunch of services responsible for virtualbox, and so far the disk does not start when opening files from the desktop. I don't know if that was the only reason or one of them. While I'm watching.
In general, these services were turned off for me earlier, but most likely they turned on during the next update, and I had to turn them off again.

To answer this question, start ProcMon and see what files the system is accessing when opening this text file. Perhaps something is loading from the HDD.

Probably the "desktop" folder is moved to the HDD /

You just need to put Windows on the SSD, while disabling the HDD. After installing Windows, connect the HDD.

The same problem when saving and autosaving in autocad. Everything is installed on ssd system/program/swap file/save folder. And the program still pulls hard. I had to physically turn off the disk, because I was tired.

Maybe this is the system accessing the paging file on disk d:
