How to Disable Chkdsk at Startup

Disable the Chkdsk function in Windows.

The Chkdsk command on a Windows computer checks the integrity and consistency of your hard drives. If your computer shuts down unexpectedly, the Chkdsk program may try to run every time you restart the computer, before you log in. Fortunately, you can stop Chkdsk from automatically starting up with the computer with a simple command line modification.

Instructions

1. Click the "Start" button.

2. Type "cmd" and hit "Enter."

3. Type "chkntfs /x c:" into the Command Prompt window and hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard. This command immediately terminates the auto-Chkdsk program, so you won't see it appear the next time you restart your computer.
