Win 10 install - lots of reparse errors on CHKDSK
I upgraded Win 7 to Win 10. I have it set up as a dual boot Win 7 and Win 10 system. With Win 10 I had huge problems with Live Mail. Win 10 kept downloading old emails on my server and wanted to rebuild the database and really messed it up bad, I found that when I booted back to Win 7, the Live Mail database was also messed up, showing that Win 10 messed up the Store folder, which is on a separate HD.
I finally fixed the problem by trying several things like repairing Live Mail, uninstalling and reinstalling Live Mail, getting rid of Spambully until I got Live Mail working correctly. Spambully is a 3rd party add-on in Live Mail. I had to rebuild the Store folder from my backup.
Some time during this very long process of fixing this, I got these CHKDSK errors on my Win 10 HD. This is the CHKDSK message:
"deleting extended attribute set due to presence of reparse point in file xxx,xxx"
this message repeated for thousands of files. At the end it said 25,019 reparse records processed
After CHKDSK fixed this, it wanted to fix my other HD's of which there were only minor fixes. Later during some other reboots, CHKDSK fixed more errors on the Win 10 HD plus some other HD's. I think that I got one other instance of fixing the reparse errors, but I didn't write it down and just am going from memory on that.
I saw a few posts on Google giving me the impression that Win 10 has had reparse errors fixed by CHKDSK in other installs. I really didn'' get any good explanations for why this happened. So please anyone, can you tell me is this something to be alarmed about? The last 2 days I finally got Live Mail and Firefox working fine after reinstalling both and I haven't gotten any more reparse errors.
