Windows: Cancel Chkdsk - so it'll work

Use the Chkdsk CMD command to check your hard drive for errors. Only a few steps are required to cancel the process. In this practical tip, we will show you exactly how to do this.

Windows: Cancel Chkdsk - so it'll work

With the CMD command Chkdsk your hard drive with all partitions is checked for errors. There are two ways to check the hard disk using Chkdsk:

• You can either use the CMD command Chkdsk or the check takes place on restart.
• If the check takes place when the PC starts, you should let the check run and not cancel it.
• If you started the check in Windows 10 using CMD, you can cancel it by pressing the key combination [Ctrl] + [C].
• However, we advise you to run the check completely.

We will tell you what you can do if Chkdsk runs under Windows 7 every time you start.
