Auto Check Disk Start Every Time Windows Start

Method 1: Using CHKNTFS utility

CHKNTFS is a utility that has been developed by Microsoft to disable disk checking on

certain drives at Windows startup. To use this utility go to Start –> Run –> cmd.

If you want to disable check disk on C: drive, use the following command on command prompt.

chkntfs /X C:

If you want to disable check disk on two or more drives, just keep on adding the drives:

chkntfs /X C: D: E:

This will disable check disk on C, D and E drives.

If you want to restore what you have done, that is, enable automatic disk checking on all

the drives again, just run the following command:

chkntfs /D

This will restore all the drives to automatic disk checkup.
Method 2: Using Registry

To disable automatic disk checking at Windows startup through registry, go to the following

registry key:

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.,

Autoplay USB & CD Turn Off

To get to the configuration screen for this setting, go to Start Menu \ Run and type in:
gpedit.msc
You will see the Group Policy window. You should select Administrative Templates \ System in the tree view:

 You will see an item in the right side pane called "Turn off Autoplay"

 

Double click the item, and set the radio button to Enabled, and change the "Turn off Autoplay on" to All Drives.

Now you should be safe from the autoplay monster.

Add or Remove Programs in Safe Mode

Before everyone goes crazy telling the user to rebuild, let's do something that may actually HELP... like configure the Windows Installer service to run in safe mode:

1. Boot into Safe Mode.

2. Create the following registry key (it won't exist by default, so create this new key):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\msiserver

(If you also want it available in Safe Mode w/ Networking, add the "msiserver" key under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\ key found here as well)


3. Edit the "(Default)" value in the new "msiserver" registry key, and enter "Service" in the "Value Data" box. Click OK, and close the registry editor.

4. Reboot back into Safe Mode, and the Windows Installer service should now run and allow you to add or remove programs in Safe Mode.

If you STILL can't boot after uninstalling your product at this point, _THEN_ you might want to consider a repair install or a rebuild.
