    Hello, my name is Gaston, I am an independent consultant.

    For this command there would be no differences.

    Try chkdsk /? to display the options in PowerShell.

    But keep in mind that there are some differences between PowerShell and CMD, so some commands will have to be executed differently.

    Cordially.

    Hi Sijae

    There is absolutely no difference when you run chkdsk in Command Prompt or Powershell, there is only one chkdsk executable in Windows and you are basically just starting that form either Command Prompt or Powershell, so there is no advantage in running chkdsk in Powershell over Command Prompt . ..
