When Windows 7 is manually put to sleep, or an automatic sleep commences after a period of time set in the Power Options, chkdsk will automatically run upon the next startup of the computer.
To be clear here is an example:
- I put the computer to sleep for say 3 hours while I go in another room.
- I return back to my computer, waking it up.
- After say another few hours of operation I shutdown the computer.
- Upon booting up next time chkdsk runs, and always finds no problems.
Running fsutil dirty query c does not indicate the c drive is dirty, and similarly running the command for the external drives connected to the computer does not indicate they are dirty either.
I'm a bit lost as to what to do really. It seems this problem is unique compared to other chkdsk related problems I have read about. Perhaps it has some correspondence with windows being put to sleep?
