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
