I have some MKV files to an external HDD

If i click on it (USB devices) and then videos then it imports a few MKV files and then it shows spinning wheel and then it does nothing

Why do we pay for this tool if it cannot import a list of mkv files from a folder root ?

What you did is not importing the MKV files to a "library" in powerdvd but just use powerdvd to browse your USB drive using the Video filter. If you just want to browse the folders you already organized on your USB drive, you can do this by using Windows explorer. It is much faster and convenient by not using a player for the browsing additionally.

If you don't want powerdvd to take times to search, locate, and render all the video files on your USB mass storage (in order to list all of them in the "Video" filter), you better try powerdvd's media library feature to import the video folders (from USB drive) to powerdvd's Media Library > Video or movies library officially. I believe it could be a more smart and faster move.
