Windows 11 Scanning and Repairing C drive not working

Anonymous

Every time I turn on the computer a message appears saying "press any key to skip disk scanning". After I let it run, it changes to "Scanning and repairing c drive" but the message only lasts for around five seconds before it immediately changes to my start screen, and I can use the computer normally after that. However, when I check the drive through control panel, it says that there are still problems and I need to restart to fix them. Restarting only does the same thing, where the scanning and repairing screen lasts for a short amount of time, and when I check control panel again there's still an error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Vincent,

    I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

    Sure. I assume you are not dual booting. Let us perform a Disk check using WinRE.

    Please open the Windows Recovery environment using either of the steps below:

    On the Lock Screen, Press and hold the Shift key. Then, click the restart button on the lock screen located at the bottom right situated in the Power menu, to open the Windows Recovery options.

    Choose Command Prompt.

    Execute the following commands one by one.

    chkdsk C: /f

    chkdsk D: /f

    Please let me know if chkdsk found errors and fixed them.

    Thank you. Did it make corrections to the file system if you noted? Bad sectors do not matter.

    Yes, I think it may have, since the message isn't appearing on the startup screen anymore. Thank you for the help!
