Answer 1

Hello Андрей Михалевский,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

The Microsoft-Windows-Ntfs Event ID 100 with the message "NTFS global corruption action state is now 7" typically indicates that the NTFS file system has detected a critical corruption issue that needs attention. This could be a sign of serious problems, such as disk failures, system crashes, or bugs in the file system drivers.

Here's a summary of steps you might take to address this issue:

Step1.Backup Your Data Immediately

Before doing anything else, ensure that you have a current backup of all your important data. Corruption issues can sometimes lead to data loss.

Step2.Run Chkdsk (Check Disk)

You can use the Windows built-in tool chkdsk to scan and attempt to fix file system errors. To do this:

1.Open Command Prompt as an Administrator.

2.Type chkdsk /f /r and press Enter.

/f fixes logical file system errors.

/r locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.

3. You may need to restart your computer for chkdsk to run.

Step3. Check Disk Health

Use tools like sfc /scannow (System File Checker) and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to check and repair other system files.

You have checked the step2 and step3.

Step4.Examine Event Viewer

Look for any other related errors in the Event Viewer to get more context about the issue. This might give you a better idea of what's causing the problem.

Step5.Update Drivers and Windows

Ensure your file system drivers and Windows OS are up to date.

Step6.Check for Hardware Issues

If the problem persists, it could be related to hardware issues:

Run hardware diagnostics to check the health of your hard drive.

Consider using third-party disk utilities for a more thorough check.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
