Powershell Command Repair-Volume Gives Invalid Property Error

Question

When I run

PS C:\> Repair-Volume -DriveLetter C -Scan

in Powershell:

PSVersion 5.1.19041.1320
PSEdition Desktop

I get this error:

Repair-Volume : Invalid property
At line:1 char:1

Repair-Volume -DriveLetter C -Scan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : MetadataError: (MSFT_Volume:ROOT/Microsoft/...age/MSFT_Volume) [Repair-
Volume], CimException
FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80041031,Repair-Volume

I ran sfc /scannow and found no issues.

BTW, Get-Volume throws a similar error;

Thank you.

Answer

BTW, Get-Volume throws a similar error;

Were you messing with the code page or something? Does this script produce the same results that I get?

cls  
"C" | format-hex  
""  
(Get-Volume -DriveLetter C).FileSystem  
""  
$vols = get-volume    
ForEach ($vol in $vols) {      
    if (($vol.DriveLetter.ToString().Length  -ne 0) -and ($vol.DriveType -eq "Fixed")) {  
        "Checking drive {0}" -f $vol.driveletter  
        $vol.driveletter.ToString() | format-hex  
        Repair-Volume -DriveLetter $vol.driveletter -Scan  
        return    # the first drive we find should be the C drive. Stop after that. Delete this line to scan all.    
    }       
}

Hi @MotoX80 ,
I did not do anything with any Powershell code.
I was attempting to scan my C: drive when I got the error.

I can't run the code you posted because I get the same error.

Get-Volume : Invalid property

Thanks,
