It&#8217;s not a terribly exciting tool \u2014 and running it can take some time \u2014 but it can really help prevent bigger problems and loss of data in the long run. Chkdsk performs a couple of functions, depending on how it&#8217;s run:<br \/>\n<!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":2,\"actualCount\":395} --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Chkdsk&#8217;s basic function is to scan the integrity of the file system and file system metadata on a disk volume and fix any logical file system errors that it finds. Such errors might include corrupt entries in a volume&#8217;s master file table (MFT), bad security de<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ors associated with files, or even misaligned time stamp or file size information about individual files. <\/li>\n<li> Chkdsk can also optionally scan every sector on a disk volume looking for bad sectors. Bad sectors come in two forms: soft bad sectors, which can occur when data is written badly, and hard bad sectors, which can occur because of physical damage to the disk. Chkdsk attempts to fix these problems by repairing soft bad sectors and marking hard bad sectors so they won&#8217;t be used again. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":2,\"actualCount\":1168} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":2,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\nThat may all sound very technical, but don&#8217;t worry: you don&#8217;t need to understand the ins and outs of how it works to know when you should run it.<br \/>\n<!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":2,\"actualCount\":153} --><br \/>\nYou may want to run chkdsk every few months as part of routine maintenance along with using a S.M.A.R.T. tool for drives that support it. You should also consider running it any time Windows has shut down abnormally \u2014 such as after a power loss or system crash. Sometimes Windows will automatically run a scan during startup, but most often you&#8217;ll have to do it yourself. Even if you&#8217;re just having strange problems with apps not loading or crashing that you haven&#8217;t been able to resolve another way, you might consider checking the disk.<br \/>\n<!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":2,\"actualCount\":709} --><br \/>\nFor example: I once had a problem where Outlook suddenly started crashing on me shortly after loading. After a lot of troubleshooting, a chkdsk scan revealed I had bad sectors where my Outlook data file was stored. Fortunately, chkdsk was able to recover the sectors in my case, and everything went back to normal afterward.<br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":2,\"actualCount\":1033} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":3,\"startingPoint\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":3,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":2,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\nIf chkdsk does encounter problems \u2014 especially hard bad sectors \u2014 that it can&#8217;t repair, data can become unusable. It&#8217;s not very likely, but it can happen. For that reason, you should always make sure you have a good backup routine in place and back up your PC before running chkdsk.<br \/>\n<!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":3,\"startingPoint\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":3,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":4,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":2,\"actualCount\":302} --><br \/>\nThe chkdsk tool works pretty much the same in all versions of Windows. We&#8217;ll be working with Windows 10 in this article, so the screenshots may look slightly different if you&#8217;re using Windows 11, but chkdsk performs the same, and we&#8217;ll point out where any procedures differ.
