Microsoft recently acknowledged an issue that some Windows 10 customers have been complaining about. The issue caused the Windows 10 devices to fail to boot when the chkdsk tool was used to repair file system errors. For those unfamiliar, chkdsk is a command-line tool used to check Windows drive volumes for logical and physical errors.
While Microsoft confirmed the issue exists, it didn’t confirm which versions of Windows 10 are impacted. There are currently updates available for Windows 10 versions 2004 and 20H2. Microsoft said the update was meant to address a “small number of devices” that were reported to get damaged when running chkdsk /f leaving the device is unable to boot.
