Is the "source" the same for the chkdsk in Win 10 as it was in the instructions? Perhaps it has changed?
I'm not honestly sure if the chkdsk ran. I just rebooted the computer then put on the TV for a while, knowing that the reboot and chkdsk would take a while. When my show was over, the computer was back at the desktop so I just assumed chkdsk had run. But perhaps it never ran at all. I suppose I should run it from the command prompt (again) and watch what happens, although that adds considerably to the time I can't use the computer (or do much of anything else since I will have to keep an eye on it).
I *do* occasionally see Disk Usage at 99% in Task Manager; this happened once yesterday for example. And I do get "not responding" on various apps fairly regularly, including Firefox and Thunderbird. I don't normally run Task Manager unless things are particularly sluggish.
I do wish Microsoft would get its act together and start writing better code. Windows has only had 3 good releases that I can recall: WIn98SE, WinXP, and Win7. Everything else has been just this side of complete rubbish.
