Windows 10: 24h2 broke chkdsk on reboot.

24h2 broke chkdsk /f on reboot. When scheduled, chkdsk starts running but does not complete and the computer boots into Windows. It is still possible, though, to run chkdsk from the command prompt in the Recovery environment. There are reports on various fora confirming this is not an individual case. Pls, fix.

Factory reset Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100.863)

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

There are no currently listed problems resetting version 24H2 of Windows 11 and no specific steps you need to perform, are you experiencing any problems with that insider build that is causing you to perform a Windows reset?

 

chkdsk c: /F

It might be an error on the drive. We suggests that you follow the troubleshooting steps below:

• Run Disk Cleanup utility to clear your junk files.
• Open an elevated CMD type sfc /scannow and hit Enter to run the System File Checker.
  
• Once the scan is completed, restart your computer. Remember to exit ChkDsk
  during boot.
• Next, again open CMD as admin type
  Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and hit Enter to repair the Windows image.
• Now see if ChkDsk able to complete the scan.

Note: Before doing the steps, make sure you save a back up of your files.

Let us know how it goes.

 

NTFS Error 98, Chkdsk on every reboot

Since June 7th, on every clean start or reboot my computer initiates CHKDSK on my system drive (Western Digital SN520 SSD). In addition, a single instance of NTFS Error 98 appears in the system log which says the drive needs to be taken offline for errors.
This CKDSK/NTFS Error 98 loop keeps happening, and will not go away. I've accomplished the following troubleshooting steps so far (in approximate order):

1. Ran "chkdsk C: /f" from an elevated command prompt window. No change.
2. Ran chkdsk from an elevated command prompt window. No errors found.
3. Uninstalled Norton 360, which I installed on June 7th. No change.
4. Checked the drive health with the Western Digital SSD Dashboard. Quick and extended smart checks report the drive is healthy.
5. Ran a Malwarebytes scan, which found a potentially unwanted application in a Firefox directory. Quarantined it. No change.
6. Ran an offline Windows Defender scan. No findings.
7. Reran chkdsk after all of the above. Problem persists.

Additional observations:

• The 2020-05 Cumulative Security Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB84556799) update is repeatedly failing to install, with error code 0x800f0986.
  • Tried deleting the windows update download cache. Update still fails.
• The startup list on my system has a questionable entry called "setuplauncher". I disabled this. The context menu for the entry has the Properties and Open File Location options greyed out. It appears this may be a remnant entry from BitDefender, which
  I removed in favor of Norton.

This computer is a month old and has been used responsibly... while its not system-breaking, its mildly concerning and I'm considering just reinstalling windows.
