chkdsk c: \r stalls on reboot

HP HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-pOXX
Windows 10 Home (X64) Version 1703 (build 15063.483)
I encountered strange behavior in a couple of programs and thought it might be time for a repair. So I issued chkdsk c: \r which makes an automatic reboot. The reboot went ok and the chkdsk proceeded until 10% complete, whereupon it stalled for an hour before I forced a reboot. Tried and failed twice more then gave up and just ran chkdsk, which reported that it had made repairs. Is there a magic way to succeed with chkdsk c: \r or is this behavior indicative of some more sinister problem?

 

chkdsk c: /F

We appreciate the response. I'm referring to Check Disk (chkdsk) utility tool. If you haven't tried yet, we suggest that you run a chkdsk by:

• Press Windows Key + X button to bring up the power user menu.
• In the power user menu, select the Command Prompt (Admin) option.Click Yes when you are presented with a UAC window requesting permission to launch the Command Prompt as Administrator.
• In the new Command Prompt window, type chkdsk E: /f /r /x. Here you should replace E with your drive letter.

This option will run chkdsk to check and repair disk errors in Windows 10. The “/f” parameter tells CHKDSK to fix any errors it finds; “/r” tells it to locate the bad sectors on the drive and recover readable information; “/x” forces the drive to dismount
before the process starts.

Keep us updated with the result.

 

How long should CHKDSK /R take?

i'd suggest grabbing a few beers and a movie. it could take several hours.
