chkdsk c: /F

It might be an error on the drive. We suggests that you follow the troubleshooting steps below:

• Run Disk Cleanup utility to clear your junk files.
• Open an elevated CMD type sfc /scannow and hit Enter to run the System File Checker.
  
• Once the scan is completed, restart your computer. Remember to exit ChkDsk
  during boot.
• Next, again open CMD as admin type
  Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and hit Enter to repair the Windows image.
• Now see if ChkDsk able to complete the scan.

Note: Before doing the steps, make sure you save a back up of your files.

Let us know how it goes.

 

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.

 

Unable to perform chkdsk with error: Access denied on Windows 10

Hi Jay,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

This issue might have occurred when you do not have permissions to access the folder/ drive.

Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

• How exactly are you trying to run chkdsk command?
• On which drive are you deploying chkdsk command?

Step 1: Try the following steps to take the ownership of the respective folder/ drive and check if it helps:

• Right-click the C: Drive that you want to take ownership of, and then click
  Properties.
• Click the Security tab, and then click
  OK on the Security message, if one appears.
• Click Advanced, and then click the
  Owner tab.
• In the Name list, click your user name,
  Administrator if you are logged in as Administrator, or click the
  Administrators group.

  You may receive the following error message, where
  Folder is the name of the folder that you want to take ownership of: You do not have permission to read the co1ntents of directory
  Folder. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control? All permissions will be replaced if you press

7. Click

8. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and the folder contents.

Step 2: I suggest you to follow the below steps to perform check disk:

• Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, click Command Prompt (Admin).

  chkdsk /f
• You may be asked whether to schedule this volume to be checked next time when you restarts (Y/N).
  
• Press Y key on the keyboard and press
  Enter key.

Chkdsk disclaimer: The Chkdsk (Check Disc) scan will try to identify and repair bad sectors found on the hard drive. Any data present on these sectors might be lost in the process. The computer can also go into
a no boot state. Proceed at your own risk.
