Computer Message After Driver Update

[Holly2]

I followed Honk1's  directions for getting driver update, and it worked but ever since I did it every time I turn on my computer or do a restart I get the following message:

"To skip disk checking, press any key within 8 seconds." 

Nothing happens if you press any key or just ignore the message but it's annoying. I googled this new problem and see others had this same message in June of this year but after doing something else. The link to this message in June is :

 https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Boot-and-Lockup/Disk-checking-at-every-boot/td-p/6128494

I would appreciate any advise or help from anyone that has gotten this message after turning on their computer or doing a restart.

PS: I tried to do a disk check on my own, but got the message that my drive was fine, but I could do a disk check if I wished so I declined to do one.

Hi @Holly2,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

It is a great way to engage, post questions and find resolutions by working with specialists in the HP community.

I reviewed your post and I understand that every time you start the computer it is performing a check disk.

I’d love to help!

Have you tried the steps recommend you in the forum link you have posted?

Meanwhile, I recommend you follow below steps to disable the startup disk check.

Run command prompt as an administrator and type the below command and hit enter.

chkntfs /x C:

Let me know how it goes and you have a good day ahead.

It doesn't do a disk check as I stated in my first post:

"but ever since I did it every time I turn on my computer or do a restart I get the following message:

"To skip disk checking, press any key within 8 seconds." 

Nothing happens if you press any key or just ignore the message but it's annoying."

In the link I posted no one had any success with the suggestions and it was thought that HP or Microsoft would have to do a fix.

Hi @Holly2,

I recommend you to restore the bios default on your computer and check if the issue is fixed.

Follow the steps in the below video to restore bios defaults.

Today I did a check disk even though I got the message when I went to check disk for errors that a check disk was not necessary as there were no errors.Then I turned my computer off and then back on. When the message came up "To skip disk checking, press any key within 8 seconds." I waited until the coundown got to 1 and then pressed the 1 key. After pressing the key I got the message scan complete partition error repaired. After I turned my computer off and then back on the message "To skip disk checking, press any key within 8 seconds." no longer appeared. I also tried a restart and didn't get the message there either.

What a simple fix!!!!!
