CHKDSK not running with bitlocker

Am trying to run chkdsk on a bitlocker encrypted system drive. It looks like it starts on reboot but does not process as it takes maybe 10 seconds then it kicks to windows when a chkdsk /b /r on this hardware should take 20 min.

Have tried to suspend bitlocker and get same results.

When I suspend bitlocker then reboot into command prompt via the troubleshooting menu it will run a proper scan taking the proper amount of time to process the entire drive.

Is there a way to script this to properly run chkdsk without user interaction?

    Hello joe random characters to have unique name

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Please check Event Viewer to see if there is any related logs:

    Viewing chkdsk logs

    And by the way may I know which kind of drive you are trying to run chkdsk with? Since it is not suggested and no need to run chkdsk

    on a SSD (solid-state drive).
