    This is a regular occurrence. It happens without fail every time I boot up my laptop. All the information that I have gathered is:It started happening after an update, but I cannot pinpoint any specific update.It happens every time. If I click any keys, it skips the disk checking and goes directly into booting up.I have skipped disk checking multiple times and it does not create any noticeable change.I have checked the Up time of processor, and it does reset after every boot.If not skipped, it checks and repairs the C drive.Due to this option, boot times have changed from average of 10s to 30s

    :)

    Hi Aditya

    Do you just have the one drive on your PC?

    When you say it is no longer are seeing the 'To skip disk checking . . .' is your Disk still being checked anyway?
