    Is rebooting during chkdsk safe?


    Around 9PM EDT, I started running chkdsk /r on Windows 10.

    It's been over 2.5 hours and it's stuck at 11%. I am going to sleep around 1:30 to 2AM. Is it safe to reboot if chkdsk is still running?

    It's relatively safe but it will just start again after you start computer again. Better leave it on until it finishes.
