Windows 10: chkdsk and event viewer

chkdsk does not do 4 & 5 and event viewer does not find. How do I check disk for errors? And correct errors? (sfc /scannow still scans but is it working? It has not found integrity violation in 5 months).

:)

 

there are no chkdsk logs in event viewer

i have run a few chkdsk commands on my hdd and on a few usb sticks, however i can't find any log in the event viewer regarding the chkdsk output.

the commands complete successfully (as i see in the CMD window), it's only the logs that never appear in the event viewer.

 

How to read the latest Chkdsk event viewer log in PowerShell (on Windows 10)?

As I find it rather cumbersome to run Event Viewer and filter out the latest Chkdsk log, may I poke a question:

How to read the latest Chkdsk event viewer log in PowerShell (on Windows 10)?

My humble requirements for the solution:

• It has to be done in PowerShell (not ISE, normal PowerShell terminal).
  
• It has to be done without Administrator privileges (to save some mouse clicks).
  

Important notes:

• I mean the Chkdsk scheduled at boot for the system drive, usually C:.
  
• Apart from the log, it should output the date and time, if possible.
