[QUOTE="Malleable, post: 1017931, member: 90907"] Thanks for pointing this out. I was unaware of this and just looked into it a bit. Seems Windows 10 related when a problem occurs. Microsoft in their own cute way both denies and confirms it. In the same article. I only ran chkdsk when there's a problem and haven't worked on anyone else's computer for a while. I just ran it on my main Samsung 970 Pro and external Hynix drives. On my main Windows 11 drive after chkdsk completed I got a blue Recovery screen indicating Windows didn't load correctly and suggested a restart which performed normally. I do not know if this is related to Bitlocker. The Hynix went without a problem. I'm going to look into this a bit further. Btw, if you unplug an external USB drive without Safely Removing/ejecting it first and it's not set for the Quick Removal policy the drive may become unreadable. Chkdsk fixes that without any data loss. I'm just reading now Windows by default is set for Quick Removal so it wouldn't be a problem unless you changed it but the Better Performance policy gives you just that and I used to do a lot of large (200GB+) file transfers regularly.
