    I dont have a hybernate-file at all , so its all disabled, but it did not chance the fact ,not possible to make a checkdisk before reboot.
    I wonder ; if the checkdisk in Windows ( so with the checkdisk by clicking on the OS-partition in "This PC" ) goes well ,and no further actions are required, is there still any need to perform a checkdisk before reboot ( with CMD)..............???
    If you can run chkdsk from within Windows 10 using Option 2, then there's no need to do so at boot.

    Yes, we can do so !
    And ,afterwards, see the results in the eventvieuwer; " no further actions are required " !
    This means this thread is solved ?
    Remains the question ; why not possible to make a checkdisk before reboot.
    Brink, if you say ; all is well and keep it as it is, then its fine to me also............

    Yep, as long as you can run chkdsk inside Windows, you're fine. :)

    It seems like something is blocking chkdsk from running at boot on your PC. Possibly "Secure Boot" or a 3rd party security program?

    Brink, I followed each tutorial, to the letter, and when the laptop restarted, the same "Restart to repair drive errors" message. PowerShell said, "No errors". Elevated Command Prompt, "Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode."

    There are 5 instances of "corrupt" record segment, as seen in the image attached.

    You might scan the drive with something like SeaTools from your drive's manufacturer to check the health of the drive.

    Just to be safe, I would recommend to backup anything you don't want to lose in case you may need to format the drive to clear the corruption.

    Thanks man. I downloaded the SeaTools from the link you included. I've used an older version of the software, and it seemed pretty cool then.
    Thanks again.

    I have created a script for chkdsk. I was then curious if there were any other alternative options available with regard to Win 10 which has led me to this tutorial for which I have a few of questions.

    I understand that /OfflineScanAndFix and /SpotFix can only be run on a NTFS volume [ disk ].

    [1] Am I right in saying that if you run chkdsk /OfflineScanAndFix and chkdsk /SpotFix on the OS volume being used, you will still be prompted to schedule the scan the next time the OS restarts?

    [2] Are BOTH the above equivalent to running chkdsk C: /f for example?

    [3] Are the options above a viable alternative or benefit to the normal chkdsk C: /F or chkdsk C: /R?

    [4] Is there a /MarkClean equivalent for NTFS volumes the same as there is for FAT, FAT32, and exFAT?

    I was curious about option [4] above in case the situation ever arises where a drive’s dirty bit does NOT get cleared, even though no corruption or issues were found, which obviously causes chkdsk to run every time the OS is booted / rebooted.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Paul,

    Q1) Correct. This is what you will see with those commands.

    Q2) It's basically the same, but just an offline scan and fix instead of online with Windows 10 running.

    Q3) Since it's an offline scan, you will have the added benefit of being able to fix anything that may otherwise be in use and prevented.

    Q4) When a volume's dirty bit is set, autochk automatically checks the volume for errors the next time the computer is restarted. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the file system integrity and to attempt to fix any issues with the volume.
