Windows 10: Check Disk Blocked - Windows 10

Hi All,


I started Check Disk at Windows 10 startup about two days ago. It is now blocked for at leat 24 hours with the following message: "Scanning and repairing drive C:: 27% complete". I see also a waiting animation that it is running. Since Check Disk is running at startup, I cannot use the PC. What can I do? do I need to wait? is there a way to stop the Check Disk?

Checking Disk Consistency

Ok i did as viper suggested, but it stops checking at stage 3. It is still saying the drive is dirty, and still needs to be checked. I did a defrag and a disk cleanup, and suggestions?

 

Disk Check Issue?

I'm having the Disk Check issue again. However, this time, I can't use Startup Repair to fix it. Can you address this?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
