How to Cancel CHKDSK After It Has Been Scheduled

 

To stop the execution of CHKDSK /F /R, you must edit the registry using Registry Editor.

To stop the execution of CHKDSK /F /R, take the following steps:

1. Run the Registry Editor(Regedt32.exe). 
2. Under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:
   
   \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
3. Change the BootExecute entry from:
   
   autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C To autocheck autochk *

If you have scheduled CHKDSK for multiple volumes, there will be an autocheck entry for each volume. Delete the string from the BootExecute registry value for each volume you do not want checked.

This procedure will reset the default string, and CHKDSK /F /R will not run on reset.
