Exploring the Win10 PowerShell Chkdsk Alternative: Repair-Volume
The most frequently used version of Repair-Volume takes a volume offline for scanning, and atte The most frequently used version of Repair-Volume takes a volume offline for scanning, and attempts fixes on any errors it finds. Thus, the basic syntax for this version of the command is: Repair-volume -Driveletter <DrvLtr> -OfflineScanAndFix Where you’d substitute the letter for the drive you wish to scan for the generic <DrvLtr> parameter. I tried this out on my production system yesterday because it currently supports 10 drives. I’m pleased to report it worked on all drives, including the boot/system drive, C:. It was interesting to see the drive information (the bar that shows how much space the drive provides, and how much is used) disappear while this process was underway, as shown here for one of my biggest drives (J: 3TB nominal): When it’s running for some specific drive, that drive’s disk info disappears (it’s off-line).
