Windows takes two hours to boot every reboot. Goes to spinning circles

Yes, I believe we did do the in-place repair. I did run CHKDSK three days ago for another issue and it was fine. I can do it again now.

CHKDSK finished with no errors. I ran it in 'read-only' mode as I was working on something. i hope that a "no error" report is still valid from 'read-only.' If not I can finish what I'm doing and run it again using '/F'.

Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
No further action is required.

When you ran chkdsk, did it ask you to reboot ??

@OldMike65
No

Most of the time running chkdsk SHOULD reboot computer and THEN it runs .... not sure just how reliable your method was.
chkdsk c: /f should have been tried. But, simrick is checking on your errors.

Ok, I'll try it in just a bit. Had something rendering that I could not interrupt. Trying to kill two birds....you know...
