An extremely fragmented NTFS file system will also cause this delay. Be
sure to try defragmenting first.

Gparted scan for device infinite
Just tried Samir's suggestion of removing dosfstools, and it did not

Title:
Gparted scan for device infinitely because of filesystem check

To manage notifications
Removing dosfstools fixed it for me also.
Regardless of what may be causing the issue, I feel that this bug
requires higher priority since gparted is unusable without the
workaround (which isn't a very good one given that FAT16/32 files
systems will stop working).
