That wasn't what I expected
I never even saw a progress bar or spinner. It completed nearly instantly. So quickly, in fact, that I strongly suspect it didn't actually scan anything. Is there any log file I can check to see what it did? -- Drew |

chkdsk is astonishingly quick on SSDs. https://winaero.com/blog/how-to-find-chkdsk-results-in-windows-10/ |

Indeed not
It should be pretty obvious. CHKDSK runs before the GUI takes over and the display is a text only frame buffer type. It goes through a number of stages and reports progress along the way. Possible stupid trick : issue CD \ before running the CHKDSK command :-/ https://www.windowsdigital.com/how-to-run-chkdsk-windows-10-cmd-before-boot/ |

Well, it ran ...
Any way to see what it found? -- Drew |

Application event log
Look for the wininit and chkdsk event sources |

Nothing interesting
Guess the disk is OK, just bogged down running recent Windows on old hardware. -- Drew |

I believe that when you request it, it will say it has to do it on startup.
