Go to solution Solved by ImBumi,

Okay, so it seems like I managed to fix it by following this tutorial: 

 

In the CMD (via advance start), I managed to find the drive (wasn't listed as C: - in my case it got changed to E:) that had the issue and ran CHKDSK /F on that drive and got it working.

 

Regardless, thank you all for trying to help me. I really appreciate your time and effort.

Hi guys, my pc keeps on scanning and repairing C: during boot up after a power outage earlier this morning. From the other pics and vids that I see, there's a progress but mine doesn't show any and just continues with the boot up anyway. I'm getting the Maintenance error below but I've tried that and it doesn't work:

I've also followed this YT vid, took me 3+ hours to finish scanning and it said it didn't find any errors but the same thing happens: 

 

I tried doing the other things I google searched as well but still, it continues to prompt that it's scanning and repairing without showing any progress. Any idea how to fix this?

you beat me to it....but yes. the above is the fastest form of control. just type CMD in search launch as Admin and copy paste sfc /scannow and hit enter. that is the quickest and if it does not fix try the others commands.

Trying these now. After the chkdsk c: /scan, gave me a "Windows has found problems that must be fixed offline. Please run "chkdsk /f" to fix the issues"

Should I continue with the list you guys provided or follow the "chkdsk /f"?

nothing happened after the restart. When it boots, it shows the "scanning and repairing" text but no progress bar. Just booted straight to login. Drive is still dirty.

if you jumped straight back into the login screen try the sfc /sannow command. it is capable of replacing missing files and fixing many minor issues
