Naturally, this can get quite annoying \u2014 but the problem is easily fixed.<\/p>\n<p>From this article, find out why Windows is scanning and repairing your drive on booting and how to stop Windows from scanning and repairing the drive.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Windows Scanning And Repairing Drive on Booting?<\/h2>\n<p>You will typically get the \u201cScanning and repairing drive\u201d message when your computer hasn&#8217;t been properly switched off: due to a forced shutdown, a power failure, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Why does it happen? When you work on your PC, your hard disk and RAM write and read data.<\/p>\n<p>If your computer shuts down unexpectedly, you may lose some of the data stored in RAM \u2014 in the worst-case scenario, this can even lead to hard disk damage.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, when you turn on your computer after an \u201cimproper\u201d shutdown, Windows automatically scans your driver, trying to fix the issues that occurred during the shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we remind you that if you have a habit of performing forced shutdowns, it\u2019s better to stop this practice to avoid potential startup errors\u2014like the one described here.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/see-shutdown-and-startup-log-in-windows-10\/\">Where and How to See the Shutdown and Startup Log in Windows 11 and 10?<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to Stop Windows From Scanning And Repairing the Drive?<\/h2>\n<p>If you see the Windows scanning and repairing process is stuck, or if you simply don\u2019t have the time to wait for it to complete, you can bypass the automatic scanning and, instead, repair the drive manually, if needed.<\/p>\n<p>If you are working in Windows Normal Mode, you can try using the Windows Error checking tool or checking the status of your drive.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you can\u2019t boot Windows, you can try running a CHKDSK scan in Safe Mode or using the Repair-Volume -DriveLetter command in Safe Mode.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go over the four error-fixing methods in more detail.<\/p>\n<h3>Method 1: Using the Windows error checking tool<\/h3>\n<p>One of the first things you can try is using the Windows Error Checking tool to scan for and repair any potential issues.
