    Automatic Disk Repair? How long should i wait?


    I need some help! My Asus labtop was working perfectly fine yesterday and upon booting it up today it went to a black screen. I had left it like that for 40 minutes with no luck. I had then turned off my labtop by holding down the power button until it turned off. Upon starting it back up again I received the message that windows 10 was diagnosing my disk and then it went into automatic repair. For the next 9 hours it swapped between the screen for disk repair % complete and repairing disk with no percent displayed. Should I leave it running? I've been reading other posts that a lot of individuals were having an infinite loop with this situation.

    :)

    windows 10 96% how long should I wait?

    • Check to ensure there is disk activity (look at the hard disk LED light to confirm. If there is, keep waiting. If setup go beyond 2 to 3 hours, try the following steps.
    • Power down the computer. Unplug it, then wait 20 mins to 1 hour.
    • Disconnect it from the Internet (unplug Ethernet or turn off Wi-Fi).
    • Plug it again, ensure it remains disconnected from the Internet then start computer.
    • See if it completes setup.
    • If setup completes and you see the desktop with the ability to click Start and launch programs, proceed to reconnect to the Internet.

    How do I, and should I, remove Windows 8 when I have now updated to Windows 10

    When you upgrade to win 10 win 8 is for all intents absorbed and there is no need or ability to remove it. After 30 days win 10 will automatically run a disk cleanup to remove and the leftover bits of win 8 and the temporary files accumulated as well.

    Automatic Disk Repair? How long should i wait?

    I had the same problem recently - see Automatic Repair Started on Boot? I never found out why my PC went into automatic repair but it has been fine since.

    I suggest powering off your laptop and maybe removing the battery for several minutes then try restarting. Hopefully, the PC will be fine after the next cold boot.

    If this fails and Automatic Repair starts again then I would leave it to run until it reports a result before deciding what to do. If your laptop won't boot to Windows you could then try an in place repair install.

    when removing battery, also hold down the power button to drain the power from the motherboard, before you reinstall the battery
