My BootExecute is set to autocheck autochk * and it is does still chdsk every boot. I am running windows 10 off another hard drive and have to go into bios to tell it to boot Windows 10. When it does the default Widnows chdsk is what I get. Can I set the BootExecute it to something else? What can I set it to so that it never does a chdsk.

This may help some of you reading this older thread. It worked for me on an old xp machine. Open:

My Computer>c:drive>Windows>system32.

Locate and delete the autochk.exe file.

Refresh the system32 window. A new autochk.exe file will appear.

Run chkdsk again and see if it works. If it
does, the old file was corrupt and has now been replaced with a new one by the Operating System.

When this problem caused, I also cannot be able to run the chkdsk command. Then I called the online tech support department of AskPCTechies and they had resolved all the issues successfully.

In reply to Victor Rosez. Gui boot or no Gui boot can make the boot a little bit faster but sometimes chdsk schedule will not work by start up after you checked the box..so better uncheck "no Gui boot" in msconfig
