Scan Disk / Check Disc runs every time windows starts

Some times we face this peculiar problem, every time you start windows scan disk / check disk utility starts. If you press any key it skips the test and boots. Pressing any key everytime to disable check disk is boring. How can we disable from happening this again. Here are the simple steps that you can do to disable it.



Method : 1
Goto Start --> Run --> Cmd
Suppose your scan disk utility is trying to scan E drive everytime windows starts, use the following command

chkntfs /X E:

If you want to Restore what you have done i.e., enable automatic disk checking, use the following command

chkntfs /D 

Method : 2
If Method-1 fails you can use this method. Goto the following registry key
To Open Registry editor Goto Run --> Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager

In the right hand pane, double click BootExecute.

The default value of the key is autocheck autochk *
* means every drive is checked for consistency. Just add /K:C at the end before *. /K switch will disable autocheck on C: drive at Windows startup. So the final value should look like this:
autocheck autochk /k:C *

If you want to add more drives, the key should look like this: (disabling C and D drives)
autocheck autochk /k:C /k:D *

If you want to restore everything to default, just replace the key with the default one i.e.,
autocheck autochk *
