Stop disk check on startup windows 10

 

1 Disable Automatic Chkdsk

If Chkdsk is running on every startup, it means it will show you on screen during every run which drive is being checked. Take note of the drive letter as you will need it later on. In most cases it will be C: but it can be any other letter.
