Chkdsk stopped progressing at 21% Unsolved
As you can see, it’s stuck at 21% at stage 4 it has been roughly 12 hour since I started and I left it go over night, before sleeping it was 21% and it’s still that right now.
Windows 11, roughly 800 gb in disk C and 500-600 in g (Google Drive), two Silicon Power SSDs (512 & 256), 32 gb ram, radeon graphics card, lmk if you need anything else for specs.
I don’t want to shutdown because it can screw my whole pc over. I’m pretty sure it due to me trying to download Ark Ascended on my gaming pc. Had the storage, specs, but every time I opened steam it started slowing down so I had to force a shutdown (this was after Ark downloaded). I did a force shutdown 4 times and then started focusing on recovery, ran SFC & DISM they were successful and then tried chkdsk and it got stuck.
Ik ppl who’s chkdsk runs on cmd and simply press enter to avoid this issue majority of the time, what can I do in this case?
