Windows 10: Why do I get a chkdsk error?

I have my windows 7 and when I turn it on I get chkdsk. Can you help?

:)

 

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.

 

NTFS Error 98, Chkdsk on every reboot

Since June 7th, on every clean start or reboot my computer initiates CHKDSK on my system drive (Western Digital SN520 SSD). In addition, a single instance of NTFS Error 98 appears in the system log which says the drive needs to be taken offline for errors.
This CKDSK/NTFS Error 98 loop keeps happening, and will not go away. I've accomplished the following troubleshooting steps so far (in approximate order):

1. Ran "chkdsk C: /f" from an elevated command prompt window. No change.
2. Ran chkdsk from an elevated command prompt window. No errors found.
3. Uninstalled Norton 360, which I installed on June 7th. No change.
4. Checked the drive health with the Western Digital SSD Dashboard. Quick and extended smart checks report the drive is healthy.
5. Ran a Malwarebytes scan, which found a potentially unwanted application in a Firefox directory. Quarantined it. No change.
6. Ran an offline Windows Defender scan. No findings.
7. Reran chkdsk after all of the above. Problem persists.

Additional observations:

• The 2020-05 Cumulative Security Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB84556799) update is repeatedly failing to install, with error code 0x800f0986.
  • Tried deleting the windows update download cache. Update still fails.
• The startup list on my system has a questionable entry called "setuplauncher". I disabled this. The context menu for the entry has the Properties and Open File Location options greyed out. It appears this may be a remnant entry from BitDefender, which
  I removed in favor of Norton.

This computer is a month old and has been used responsibly... while its not system-breaking, its mildly concerning and I'm considering just reinstalling windows.
