Normally if a system is shutdown improperly scandisk will run on the next reboot to ensure the contents of the hard disk are valid. This setting stops scandisk from running automatically when restarting.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new Binary value, or modify the existing value called 'DisableScandiskOnBoot' using the settings below.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
DisableScandiskOnBoot	REG_BINARY	00 00 00 00


	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

Settings:

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
Name: DisableScandiskOnBoot
Type: REG_BINARY (Binary Value)
Value: 01 = disable, 00 = enable
