I have run chkdsk as admin as I thought I may have some network file errors.

It ran OK and now is stuck displaying "scanning and repairing drive (C:): 100%

How should this be fixed please

Hi Phil

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

if that disk checking has completed to 100%, then if you cannot interact with your PC, press and hold the power button on your PC for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a hard shut down

Wait a few seconds, then start your PC again . . .

    I've the same problem.

    My O.S. is Windows 10 PRO version 2004 build 19041.508.

    From "Windows PowerShell (administrator)" I ran the command: chkdsk c: /f /r /spotfix

    Since this is unit "C", the check is performed on restart.

    So, I restart my computer, but the disk check process, after phase 5, remains in the "Scanning and repairing drive (C:) 100% complete" state.

    I found the same problem in two different computers, however, both having Samsung SSD disks (although different models).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    (correction) Try run chkdsk /f from Command prompt mode (Shift+restart).

    In my opinion, due to some error, it is not possible to end the command correctly, therefore it stuck on 100%.

    1. Go to safe mode:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode

    1. (correction) Go to Command prompt mode through Shift+restart
    2. (correction) Check the correct letter of your system boot HDD, because in this Command prompt mode the letters of the HDD are different ( c: Enter , dir Enter, d: Enter, dir Enter, e: Enter, dir Enter ...etc.)
    3. Run the command for correct letter of your system boot HDD , for example chkdsk e: /f
    4. Make sure the command doesn't end with an error message. If it reports an error, search it on google, microsoft...etc.

    Hi, thanks for your reply!

    My two SSD drives seem to have no problems anyway.

    I try to explain myself.

    When the process stuck at 100%, I have to reboot (or shut down) the computer brutally (= manually). Once restarted, I check the Windows Event Viewer, in particular under Wininit, to verify anyway the results of the chkdsk: everything is regular and no problem is detected or needs corrections.

    I'll try from safe mode anyway.

    Even after the October monthly update the problem persists in two of the three computers at my disposal ... (both having Samsung SSD disks).

    Cheers!

    (correction) Try it from Command prompt mode and attach the results list. I have experience that we will learn more about the problem.
