Windows 10: chkdsk at startup

Hello, I found article from 2018 where they are describing how chkdsk is performed at startup and that it can hold machines from loading if disk is found faulty.I do not know if URLs are allowed here to post but since it's pretty relevant here I'll take my chances.https://www.datanumen.com/blogs/stuck-repairing-disk-errors-issue-windows-10/ .I am wondering if stuck animation of loading is indication of anything. Did disk check failed and machine is now just stuck or does system still perform command in background or animation is just stuck because command is being performed differently du
