Every so often on startup, Scandisk is initiated and runs through a lengthy
procedure of checking files and folders and verifying free space. Can anyone
tell me why this is happening?
 
Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. Then type in:
chkntfs /x c: , and hit enter. Reboot your computer.

[This disables CHKDSK from running on drive C:]
