HP Omen 15-dc0xxx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

For quite a while now, my Omen Laptop has been displaying the message "Scanning and Repairing Drive /C:" on boot but I never really thought much of it. However, I have noticed a warning in "Security and Maintenance" urging me to restart to repair drive errors so I have been looking into the issue to figure out what's going on. It's important that I mention that for the time the scanning and repairing process has persisted when booting the laptop, it doesn't actually do anything. It allows me to skip the process by pressing any key but I usually let it go through because it takes less than 10 seconds to disappear. No progress indicator appears as a percentage, just the prompt Scanning and Repairing Drive /C: ...".

 

This is what I've done so far (CMD and Diagnostics entries were tried multiple times each):

- Updated all outdated drivers;

- Windows Update everything available;

- CMD (Administrator Mode):

          - chkdsk

          - sfc /scannow;

          - DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth 

          - DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

- Diagnostics Tool (Tapping ESC on boot, F2)

          - Quick Test (All Drives)

          - Fast Test (All Drives)

          - Short DST/Extensive DST (All Drives)

 

Everything shows no errors found or repaired, and the drive seems to be in good condition. As far as performance, over the months this situation has persisted, no changes have been noted. Maybe slight freezes (2/3 seconds) within the first 5 minutes after boot but that's about it. Given the laptop was purchased in 2018, this appears normal and not a reason for concern.

 

From what I have been able to find, this could either be from a windows update that I have installed or perhaps a problem with the ssd connection under the hood.

 

What are your opinions? Do you reckon this is of concern or might just be related to windows update?
