    Windows 10 Pro scans and repairs a mystery drive at every boot-up


    For about two months, my PC has been scanning and repairing a drive at every boot-up, regardless of how the PC was shut down the time before. It can take as long as fifteen minutes to scan and complete repairs, which always identifies 64 files to be repaired; I am unsure whether they are the same files each time or not.When I open the Disk Optimization tool, it identifies a drive as "\\?\Volume{3a67c860-4f4a-07bf-1000-5763d3e2c1e4}\" and says that it has never been analyzed or optimized and that optimization is not available. This identification matches the files being scanned during the boot

    Windows 10 random automatic repair after changing boot priority.

    Hello. So i have an Windows 10 Pro. Sometimes when i am changing in bios boot order from USB to HDD ( SDD ) windows starts booting with AUTOMATIC REPAIR and then restarting. Is this something with BIOS \ Windows 10 bug related? Tested on pc and on laptop , and sometimes it doing the same.


    Situation on PC first,listen:

    Few days ago after i change boot in UEFI BIOS from USB to SSD.
    Then Windows 10 showed at 1 boot Automatic Repair.
    When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc.
    Interesting is that if I restart Windows (after procedure mentioned earlier) it will boot normally. This startup problem was occured only when starting system again after shutdown or restarted pc from windows.So i was needed 2 boots to boot properly to windows.
    But on pc, format was needed to remove completely issue and after format is fine.

    Pc :
    2x8gb Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz DDR3
    SSD samsung Evo 250 gb
    4790k stock
    Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 with UEFI BIOS


    Now laptop with old standard bios:
    On laptop i made the same operation, change boot from USB to HDD and on first boot Windows 10 shows Automatic Repair. But it happened once and i cant reproduce. No format was needed.

    laptop is very old with 2gb ram

    Why on pc format was needed when on laptop not?



    Thanks for suggestions.

    Scanning and repairing drive on every start-up

    Recently, I had a start-up error with the "Reboot and select proper Boot device" message. I fixed it by unplugging and then plugging back in my drives, but since then it has been slow with starting up Windows, attempting to scan and repair an unknown drive before the login screen.

    I need help to figure out which disk it is referring to and how to get rid of the scan and repair thing on start-up.

    Windows Version Number: 1903 (OS Build 18362.900)

    (Link to the previous thread: Scanning and repairing drive on every start-up
    Tried the things listed there, but couldn't get much further. Was suggested to start this new thread...)
