Windows 10: Scanning and Repairing Drive C, is this an issue I need to resolve?

I was playing a game when my whole computer froze nothing was responding for 10 minutes. I turned it off with the power button (I know its not good to do it on a regular basis but this was just a one time thing) and ever since when I boot up I get a message that says scanning and repairing drive C. Is this an issue that I need to fix or is it not a big problem?

Thanks for helping out!
