CHKDSK Running at Every Boot

In the last few days, every time that I boot or reboot, chkdsk runs
on my E: drive only. E: is actually a partition on my second hard
drive. Even though the disk check asks to press any key to skip the
test, pressing any key does nothing and the disk check continues to
run. Nothing is ever found or fixed during the test.
Is there a cause or Any way to stop this check? Thanks!
 
To Enable/Disable CHKDSK Each Time Your computer starts

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

Look for the REG_MULTI_SZ value with the following name: BootExecute.
This value contains commands that will be executed at startup.

The default value is: autocheck autochk *

After scheduling one or more chkdsks, the entry will contain one or
more autochk lines. Delete each of these lines and put the default one
in place. If you always want a check to be performedf at startup,
change the value to: autocheck autochk /f *

If you don't want any checks to be performed, delete all autocheck
entries.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon...look for SFCScan...set the value to 1....
 
Thanks for the KB ref - good info!

Check the volume is bit dirty or not.

See:-
Chkdsk.exe or Autochk.exe starts when you try to shut down or
restart your computer
