[SOLVED] Chkdsk does nothing after reboot.

Let's verify that those values are indeed deleted:

Rich (BB code):

reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\chkdsk /s

If those values are no longer present, then please open an elevated command prompt and then enter the following command:

Rich (BB code):

fsutil dirty set C:

Please reboot your computer and chkdsk should automatically start running on boot.

Here are the results from "reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\chkdsk /s":

C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\chkdsk /s

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\chkdsk\Scan

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\chkdsk\Verify

Did the "fsutil dirty set C:" and chkdsk did start after a reboot...got the scanning and repairing drive (c:) for a few seconds... but no chkdsk messages.

Thanks, could you please open an elevated command prompt and then enter the following command:

Rich (BB code):

fltmc filters

Please post the output in your next post. I just want to check what file system filter drivers are being loaded.

Thanks, there is two notable security programs which could potentially be causing problems, especially since it works from Safe Mode. Before we remove anything, let's try a clean boot first and then see if chkdsk works. Otherwise, it may wise to completely remove Emnisoft and Malwarebytes (use MBAM removal tool) and then test again.

Did a clean boot, and chkdsk works normally. Removed Malwarebytes with the MBAM removal tool, and chkdsk does not have messages after reboot. Uninstalled Emsisoft Anti-Malware, and now chkdsk works normally after a reboot. I have used Emsisoft Anti-Malware free for years, and was surprised that it was the issue.

Thanks for the all the help. I have reinstalled all the software I uninstalled previously troubleshooting and chkdsk is working normally again.

That's great news, glad everything is running okay again.
