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.
Method 1:
- Type cmd in the search field at the bottom left corner of your screen.
- Right click Command Prompt in the search results then left click Run as administrator.
- If you get a prompt asking you if you want to allow the app to make changes to your device, choose Yes.
- The Command Prompt will open up. Make sure it says Administrator in the top left corner of the window. If it doesn't say that, you need to repeat the above steps.
- Type the following command:
chkntfs C: /x
Typically, C: will be the drive needing the scan. Use the drive letter you noted at the start of this step. Press Enter on your keyboard when done.
