Sleep has just failed, the displays never turned on.
I booted to safe mode with command prompt chkdsk still says that stuff is in use so the checking must take place during startup. Then it indeed does it while the windows logo and spinner is visible, just like before. There is no log for chkdsk in the event viewer.
I ran the sfc command which produced a 2.5 Mb log and it says it fixed several issues.
I made a recovery USB but can't boot from it for some reason, I'm investigating that now. My hope is that booting to that will allow me to run chkdsk on c: properly.
Btw my system drive is an few years old SSD so if it has some bad blocks they should not cause problems with the system.
