  1. PC scanning and repairing on cold boot after power is disconnected


    Hi all,

    I've bought a new PC and I've noticed that whenever the power is disconnected when it's off it does the scanning and repairing thing when I turn it back on again. This is if I turn it off at the plug, or the few power cuts I've had while I've had it. I'm fairly certain I've been turning it off properly, I was just wondering if this is something anybody has heard about before and if I should worry about it.


    Thanks!

    :)

  2. LG Quantum "Camera" not working after updates.

    This did the trick for me. I misinterpreted the meaning of the word "cold boot". After turning off the phone, disconnecting the battery for some time, and replacing the battery and powering on, the camera became accessible again. After this I updated to
    Mango.

    I appreciate everyone's contribution.

    Hi,

    It can be due to software conflicts. For us to provide a solution suited to your concern, we'd like to know if you're using all the partitions included in the screenshot provided. If not, we suggest deleting it if you won't be using the partitions. We also
    suggest contacting the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to perform hard drive diagnostics. Doing a hard drive diagnostics is best handled by them.

    Give us an update with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

    Hi Speckled Jim. Welcome to the TenForums @Speckled Jim

    How are you turning it off properly, that is how are you shutting down?

    Are you shutting down via the desktop's on/off button (forced shutdown - not recommended) or via shutdown (start button>Power>shutdown)?
    If you force shutdown it may affect the hard drive if it is writing to it so will run a repair at startup.
    If it's doing this after correctly shutting down & unplugging the device then no that doesn't sound right.

  6. I always switch it off via the start menu. This is not something that happens all the time - only when it's switched off at the plug when it's powered down. And it's definitely shut down that i press on the start menu, not sleep ! *Confused

    Thanks for your help!

  7. Thanks.

    Some folks do you power button but they have deliberately set an "Action" in the Advance Power setting. One of my machines I set to Sleep.

    I wonder if this is somehow tied to either a BIOS Fast Start Option or Windows Fast StartUp.

    As a really quick test for Windows Fast Startup you could disable hibernation which will disable Windows Fast StartUp.

    to a command prompt(admin) type

    powercfg -h off

    To turn it back on replace the word off with on in the command above. With it disabled you could try shutting off at plug and seeing if computer displays same behaviour.

    Do you mind sharing make model of device?

    PC scanning and repairing on cold boot after power is disconnected

    This happens on my desktop PC occasionally and I can't work out why. I usually just turn off the mains power then restart and all is OK. I sometimes use Autoruns to check there are no missing files waiting to run on startup and delete those. Also run chkdsk on your system drive e.g. chkdsk c: /spotfix

    A new PC should not have any disk or drive problems.
    Is the computer still under warranty?
    What troubleshooting steps have your already made?
    Have you done a drive SMART test?
    Have you ran chkdsk /x /f or chkdsk /x /r ?
    Open administrative command and type: fsutil dirty query C:
    Please post the results into the thread.
    If you have already ran chkdsk /x /f /r the results can be checked in the event.vwr
    Read Chkdsk Log in Event Viewer in Windows 10 Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

    Please post information about your computer specs: Make, model, drives etc.
