Keep getting prompted for chkdsk on start up despite having run chkdsk

Scruffy90

How do I stop getting prompted to chkdsk on start up? It keeps prompting chkdsk on start up for my c drive, but I already completed a chkdsk on it a day or two ago and any errors or issue were corrected. How do I prevent these pop ups from appearing every time I boot my machine?

it happens because the drive gets dirty tag due to unexpected shutdown when you are doing some kind of writes on the disk, you need to run full 5 stage scan to get rid of it but that might tae some time and is not really recommended for SSDs

I did that which is why i'm confused. I did command prompt before boot, unmounted c, and ran 

chkdsk c: /f /r

Drive might be failing, hence prompting the message

shouldn't SMART inform me of this though?

If it's bad enought to trigger SMART. I've seen drives that will issue a chkdsk command, without SMART failing...

Would there be any alternative to try and verify this?

So the drive in question is a Samsung 960 EVO m.2, but Samsung Magician doesn't support running diagnostics on it.

However, when I check the Over Provisioning section, it reports as "volume may be corrupted..." which is strange considering I ran the chkdsk as I mentioned in a previous comment on this thread. At this point i'm at a complete loss other than wiping the drive entirely.image.thumb.png.afac9cea6fbecfb3cfa35ed4afdb129f.png

That's really bizarre....

This program will do a detailed sector analysis, and will tell you if there is anything wrong with it, but the UI is confusing and you need to pick your options *very carefully* because the program will also happily erase your drive too....
