При загрузке windows 10 fixing c stage

Fixing (C:) Stage 1 или 2 – это диагностика системных дисков в Windows 10, которая начинается при включении компьютера, если ранее были выявлены какие-то ошибки. Во время этой диагностики устанавливаются дополнительные элементы, а поврежденные файлы заменяются.

Fixing (C:) Stage 1 отсчитывает проценты и указывает на количество файлов, которые уже обработаны. После этого начинает работу следующий процесс — Stage 2, а диагностику проходит только один системный диск (C или D). Обычно Fixing (C:) Stage 2 все исправляет. Все последующие включения ПК пройдут без проблем. По сути. — это автоматическое исправление ошибок встроенной утилитой CHKDSK , появившихся во время предыдущего сеанса. 

Чтобы пропустить диагностику:

1. Перезагрузитесь.
2. Нажмите F8 + Delete одновременно. В этом случае должно появиться сообщение «To skip disk checking press any key within X seconds». Система просит, чтобы вы нажали любую клавишу в течение X секунд. Действуйте быстро — нажать на клавишу нужно тогда, когда это сообщение еще висит на экране. Если вы не успели нажать клавишу, а сообщение уже исчезло, то нужно повторить все сначала — с перезагрузки.

Если ПК стал очень долго включаться и на экране висит лого материнки, допустим ASUS TUF GAMING / etc., нужно вывести информацию загрузки POST, для это в «Биосе» отключить опцию по типу «Display logo». И сразу будет видно что проверяется, т.е. на каком устройстве тормозит процесс загрузки. Чаще всего это умирающий жесткий диск.

Еще совет, если ПК завис на заставке логотипа материнской платы: отключите всю периферию по типу мыши, клавиатуры, сетевой карты, звуковой, все USB-устройства и etc. Если это не помогло, то посмотрите внутри системного блока, возможно что-то неплотно вставлено: память, отошли шлейфы, дисковый привод…

С недавнего времени у пользователей Windows 10 при запуске системы начала выскакивать строка «Fixing (C:) Stage 1», которая отсчитывает проценты и указывает на количество обработанных файлов. Чаще всего, после первого шага запускается второй (Stage 2), а в общем проверяется только системный диск (C или D). В статье мы расскажем, когда такое сканирование появляется, из-за чего это происходит и можно ли убрать такую проверку.

Что это такое?

Fixing (C:) Stage 1 или 2 — это проверочный процесс и отладка работы системного диска в Windows 10, который выскакивает при запуске компьютера. В процессе такой проверки производится установка дополнительных элементов и замена поврежденных файлов. Чаще всего, такой проверке предшествуют системные сообщения от «Центра безопасности»: Перезагрузите компьютер, чтобы устранить ошибки диска.

Отвечает за такую проверку встроенная в Windows 10 утилита CHKDSK. Именно эта служба проверяет все тома дисков, выявляет битые системные файлы и заменяет их на целые. Данную службу можно запустить отдельно — в командой строке необходимо ввести одноименную команду CHKDSK C: /F, где вместо C: вы можете вбить нужную вам букву диска.

В случаях со слабыми ПК, проверка «Fixing (C:) Stage 1» может выполняться достаточно долго. В таком случае можно полностью отключить опцию исправления ошибок при запуске. Для этого достаточно открыть командную строку и ввести команду CHKNTFS /X C:, вместо C можете указать нужную вам букву диска. Если в доступе будет отказано — откройте командную строку из-под админа.

В каких случаях выскакивает Fixing C Stage 1?

• Достаточно часто такая проверка выскакивает после аварийного завершения работы OS. Это может быть отключение питания или принудительное отключение через кнопку.
• В Windows 10 постоянно подгружаются пакеты обновлений, а их установка начинается в момент выключения. Если этот процесс затягивается — пользователи могут в принудительном порядке отключить  компьютер, из-за чего сбивается процесс установки и обновления файлов.
  
• Влияние вирусов. Бывает и такое, что троянцы «ломают» системные файлы, после чего те частично блокируются системой. При запуске компьютера центр безопасности активирует проверку ломанных файлов, стараясь их заменить. Сюда же стоит добавить влияние на десятку сторонних программ (неофициальное ПО, пиратки, антивирусы и т.д.), которые способны влиять на службы и файлы операционки.
• Единичный баг. Не стоит исключать моментов, когда проблема выскакивает в десятке единожды. В таком случае проверка «Fixing (C:) Stage 2» запустится лишь раз и все исправит. Последующие запуски будут происходить как обычно.

Что делать, если компьютер зависает при такой проверке

На мощных компьютерах с чистой системой такая проверка производится достаточно быстро и все битые файлы исправляются без проблем. Если же ваша десятка откровенно запущена, замусорена и давно не видела обновлений — возможны проблемы (долгая проверка, зависание, синий экран).

В случае с постоянным появлением «Fixing (C:) Stage 1» и затянутым временем проверки, рекомендуется выполнить следующее:

1. Почистите вашу автозагрузку от лишних программ — особое внимание на сторонние программки;
2. В автоматическом или ручном режиме установите в десятку последние KB-апдейты;
3. Запустите в системе проверку антивирусными сканерами (Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, MalwareBytes, Dr.Web CureIt!);
   
4. Примените утилиту CCleaner, с помощью которой выполните общую очистку и ремонт реестра;
5. Откройте свойства проблемного диска и во вкладке «Сервис» запустите проверку и оптимизацию.
   

Если же проблема намного глубже и компьютеру после проверки «Fixing Stage» вовсе не удается загрузится — нужно заняться восстановлением операционки. Можете начать с поиска точек восстановления или попытайтесь запуститься в безопасном режиме.  Если ничего не поможет — потребуется создать флешку с установочным образом десятки и через неё выполнить восстановление. Вот наглядная инструкция по такому способу:

Заключение

Как видите, появление строки Fixing (C:) Stage 1, 2 в Windows 10 говорит владельцу о начале исправления ошибок, которые были обнаружены в ходе работы предыдущего сеанса. Прошу читателей в комментариях указать — из-за чего, по их мнению, произошел баг в компьютере и выскочила такая проверка (возможно что-то с системой происходило до этого).

Are you troubled by Fixing (C:) Stage 1 in Windows 10/11? Do you know how to stop Fixing (C:) Stage 1 and start the system quickly? Here, in this post, MiniTool Partition Wizard introduces some solutions for you.

If you see a black screen with a Windows logo and a message saying “Fixing (C:) Stage 1” when you boot the Windows PC, it means your system is checking for disk error. It will detect hard drive issues and fix them during the process, which usually takes a long time to finish. And sometimes the process even gets stuck at a certain percentage. That will really bother you a lot.

The following are some possible factors that can lead to the Fixing (C:) Stage 1 screen:

• Improper shutdown
• Power failure
• Corrupted or old hard drive
• Heavy-loaded junk files on the hard drive
• …

Once the message comes out, you have to stop the checking process, or it will show up whenever you start your computer. So, how to stop Fixing (C:) Stage 1? You can have a look at the guide below.

Method 1: Press the Power Button

When you are in the process of Windows Fixing (C:) Stage 1, trying to press the Power button for 2 to 3 seconds may help to some degree. Please note you can only speed up the progress instead of stopping it. And remember not to press the button for more than 3 seconds, or you will shut down your computer.

If the Windows 10/11 Fixing (C:) Stage 1 message remains on the screen, you are supposed to go on with the next solution.

Method 2: Change the Value in Registry Editor

You can also attempt to stop Windows 10/11 Fixing (C:) Stage 1 by running the Registry Editor in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode through Windows RE (Recovery Environment), you can use the Windows installation disc to boot your computer. If you don’t have Windows installation media, the steps below can work as well.

Step 1: Press and hold the Power button on your PC for several seconds to force shut down your computer, and then press the Power button to turn it on. As soon as the screen lights up, hold the Power button again to turn off the computer.

Step 2: Repeat the action of turning on and turning off your computer 3 times until a blue screen with Recovery shows up.

Step 3: Press F8 to go to Startup Settings.

Step 4: In the next window, select Enable Safe Mode by pressing 4 or F4 on your keyboard.

Step 5: After booting into the Safe Mode, press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.

Step 6: Type regedit in the box and then press Enter to open Registry Editor.

Step 7: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

Step 8: In the right pane, double-click the file named BootExecute and change its value data to autocheck autochk *.

Once you complete the operation, restart your computer to see if the message Fixing (C:) Stage 1 has been removed.

When the Windows Fixing (C:) Stage 1 message comes out and prevents you from starting your computer normally, it may indicate that there are some errors in the hard disk. In this case, you can check the hard disk and fix errors using MiniTool Partition Wizard. It is a comprehensive partition manager that offers different features to help you manage your hard disks.

With this tool, you can try to check both logical and physical errors existing on the hard drive.

Before that, you are supposed to build a bootable USB flash drive with MiniTool Bootable Media Builder on another computer so that you can boot your computer with the bootable disk.

To create the bootable media, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Connect your USB flash drive to acomputer that can run normally.

Step 2: Download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard first. And then launch it to enter the main interface.

Step 3: To build a bootable USB flash drive, select the Bootable Media feature in the top-right corner.

Step 4: Click WinPE-based media with MiniTool plug-in to continue. 

Step 5: In the next window, check the USB Flash Disk and then click Yes to continue when there is a warning saying that the data on the USB flash drive will be destroyed.

Step 6: Wait until the MiniTool Bootable Media Builder finishes to build the bootable USB disk. Finally, click Finish.

Once the bootable USB flash drive is built, you can continue to check your hard disk.

Way 1: Check and Fix Corrupted File System

This method can help you check and fix issues related to the file system.

Step 1: Boot your computer from the bootable USB drive. Then you will enter the main interface of MiniTool Partition Wizard automatically.

Step 2: Right-click the problematic partition and select Check File System.  

Step 3: Choose the Check & fix detected errors option and then click Start.

Step 4: After the operation, close MiniTool Partition Wizard and restart your computer.

Way 2: Check for Bad Sectors

MiniTool Partition Wizard can also help you to check for bad sectors on the disk.

Step 1: Boot your computer from the bootable media and then enter MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Step 2: Find the target partition and then select Surface Test from the left action pane.

Step 3: Click Start Now to begin scanning the bad sectors.

If any bad sectors are found during the process, they will be marked as red. You need to back up the files to avoid data loss.

In addition, you can also try to mark the bad sectors as unavailable through the CHKDSK tool, which is explained in detail in the Way 1 of the next method. And after the operation is completed, the system will skip the bad sectors and you may start your computer successfully.

If there are too many bad sectors in the hard disk, it is better for you to replace the disk with a new one.

Method 4: Run the CHKDSK Utility

As a matter of fact, the Fixing (C:) Stage 1 screen indicates that your system is running the CHKDSK utility to repair disk errors. It won’t disappear until the process is completed. So, to end the Fixing (C:) Stage 1, you can try to open Command Prompt and run CHKDSK in Win-RE.

How to stop Fixing (C:) Stage 1 with it? There are two ways available to you.

Way 1: Run the chkdsk c: /r Command

With this command, you are able to fix logical errors and mark physical errors as unreadable on your disk.

Step 1: Boot your computer into the Windows RE.

Step 2: Go to See advanced repair options > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt.

Step 3: In the Command Prompt panel, type chkdsk c: /r and then press Enter to execute the command.

Step 4: After the process finishes, restart your computer, and the Fixing (C:) Stage 1 may disappear.

Way 2: Run the chkntfs /x c: Command

This command can exclude a specified partition from checking when your computer starts up. If you want to skip the process of checking partitions while starting your PC, you can run the command. 

Step 1: Enter Command Prompt in the Windows RE.

Step 2: In the Command Prompt panel, type chkntfs /x c: and then press Enter to run the command.

Step 3: Reboot your computer to check if the message Fixing (C:) Stage 1 still exists.

Method 5: Replace the Old Hard Disk with a New One

The Windows Fixing (C:) Stage 1 appears mainly because the hard disk you are using is corrupted or damaged. To avoid the issue, you’d better replace the old hard disk with a new SSD/HDD to improve the performance of your computer and hard disk.

Before replacing your disk, you’d better migrate data including the operating system and personal files to your new hard drive. In this way, you are able to use the new disk without reinstalling Windows or applications.

To execute the operation, you are recommended to use the professional software – MiniTool Partition Wizard. The following are detailed steps.

Step 1: Connect the new SSD/HDD you prepared to the computer with a SATA to USB cable, and then boot your computer from the bootable USB flash drive created with MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Step 2: Choose Migrate OS to SSD/HD Wizard from the left action pane. Then there will be two options provided to you, and you can choose one according to your needs.

Step 3: Select the SSD you prepared as the destination disk and click Next. Click Yes to go on when you see a pop-up warning window.

Step 4: On the Review the changes page, you can make and review certain changes to meet your needs.

Step 5: In the next window, click Finish to accomplish the settings of the migration. And finally, don’t forget to click Apply to carry out these changes.

Step 6: You may wait for a long time until the migration is finished. After that, boot your PC from the new disk to make sure that you migrate the OS and data successfully. Then shut down your PC and disconnect all external devices including the power source and monitor.

Step 7: Open your computer case and remove the original hard disk with the instructions in the user’s manual. Then install the new hard disk. Please be careful to avoid any possible issues. But if there is an additional slot that is suitable for the new disk, you don’t need to remove the old one.

Once you accomplish all the steps, you can boot your computer successfully without meeting the Fixing (C:) Stage 1.

On a bright fine morning, you open your Windows PC or laptop only to get interrupted by a black screen with the Windows logo. Instead of seeing the welcome screen, you see a message saying something like “Fixing C: stage 2(or 1)” with some percentage and time estimation.

Surprised?

A lot of us panicked when we first saw this error in our Windows machine. So what is this error? Why does it occur? And most importantly, how to get rid of it?

That’s all we cover in this comprehensive guide. Stay till the end so that you don’t miss anything.

Let’s get your PC fixed!

What is the ‘Fixing C: Stage 2’ Issue in Windows?

This situation is more of a troubleshooting process itself than an error. It’s when the system checks your disks for any bad sectors using a tool called CHKDSK prior to Windows boot. But the real problem occurs when this checking gets stuck for hours and days in the worst cases.

Usually, the full message that’s displayed on your screen goes something like this:

Fixing (C:) Stage 2: n% (a of b); Total x%, ETA hh:mm:ss

This is just a basic form with placeholders used. You will see numbers instead of a,b x, or n. So let’s break down this message first.

C: refers to the C drive. Stage 2 means it’s currently in the second stage. There are 3 main stages of the scan, with 2 more optional stages. The percentages indicate how much of the scanning process has been done. ETA refers to a rough estimation of how much time is needed for the scanning to be complete.

Reasons Why You May Face This Problem

There are a couple of reasons, the most common being defects in your hard drives. Other reasons include the following:

• Improper shutdown of your computer
• Junk files on the hard drive
• Corrupted or old hard drive
• Power failure

Now that you have some clear ideas about this problem and why it might happen, let’s learn how to fix it quickly.

Fix #1: Let it Continue

Since this process is normal and it’s fixing problems in your hard disk, the easiest thing to do is wait for it to finish. It can take roughly 20 minutes to about an hour in most cases. After the scan is finished, your PC will start normally.

But if it’s taking a ridiculous amount of time, for example, 24+ hours, or it’s stuck at the same percentage for several hours, then this is not normal. In such cases, proceed to the next methods.

Before the scanning started, you were given 8 seconds to press any button to skip the scanning and start your PC. However, you will see that same screen again the next time you reboot your device. So in that 8 seconds, press a button to skip the scanning, and then when your PC starts in normal mode, try any of the below fixes.

Fix #2: Turn off Disk Fixing From Registry

From the search menu, type ‘run’ and open it. Alternatively, press the Windows button + R. Now type in ‘regedit’ and press OK.

You may get a prompt first; Press ‘Yes’. Then the registry editor window will pop up.

Go to Computer → HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SYSTEM. To expand each folder, left-click on each one.

Inside SYSTEM, open ‘CurrentControlSet’. Then expand ‘Control’. It’s the first option.

After that, start scrolling until you find ‘Session Manager.’ Double-click on it.

Notice all the options appearing in the right window. From there, right-click on ‘BootExecute’. Then press ‘Modify’.

You can see a value data ‘autocheck autochk *’. We need to edit this. Change the value to this exact value below:

autocheck autochk /k:C *

When done, press ‘OK.’

Now restart your PC and see if the problem persists.

Fix #3: Run CHKDSK from the Command Prompt

So instead of letting the system run this utility, you can run it yourself from the command prompt.

Search for the command prompt in the search bar by typing ‘command prompt’. Right-click on it and press ‘Run as Administrator’.

If you get a prompt about making changes to the device, just tap ‘Yes’.

Enter this command into the prompt:

chkdsk c: /r

Adding /r with the command means that it will only find bad sectors in the disk and try to recover readable information.

Now hit Enter. You should see the following output:

Since we are currently using this volume, we can’t scan it now. But it will scan it later.

You can enter ‘Y’ to schedule your PC scanning. So now, if you restart your PC, your disk will get scanned like before. But since we are manually checking the disk, there’s a chance that it won’t get stuck anymore.

Fix #4: Run an SFC Scan

SFC scan can help remove many disk errors by doing a scan.

1. First, get the Windows Installation Media from Microsoft. Boot your PC from it. Choose ‘Repair your computer.’ Optionally, you can do this in Safe Mode as well.
2. You will appear on a blue screen. Pick ‘Troubleshoot’.
3. Then choose ‘Advanced options’.
4. Tap on ‘Command Prompt’.
5. Run the command sfc /scannow
6. After the scanning completes, reboot your device.

You can learn more about SFC scan in our scanning and repairing article.

Fix #5: Run Startup Repair

This method uses the Startup Repair tools of the Windows OS. This tool can be used to troubleshoot many booting errors.

1. Hard shut down your PC. To do that, hold down the power button for a few seconds.
2. Reboot your PC.
3. Wait for the manufacturer(Asus, Lenovo, Dell) logo to appear. When you see it, quickly hold down the power button for 10 seconds. You should see a blue screen with many options.
4. Press ‘Troubleshoot’.
5. Go to ‘Advanced options’.
6. Choose ‘Startup Repair’.

After this process finishes, see if you still see the fixing C: stage error.

Fix #6: Replace Your Hard Drive

This would be a last resort if none of the above methods fixed the issue for you. Perhaps your hard drive is too faulty and went beyond any repair. In such cases, it’s a good idea to replace the hard drive completely instead of continuing to tweak your hardware.

Although a bit more costly, we recommend getting a good Solid State Drive(SSD). It will boost your PC performance and speed drastically. They also last long without facing so many issues as hard drives face.

Final Thoughts

This guide shows you different methods of how to fix the ‘Fixing (C:) stage 2 issue in Windows 10 and Windows 11. You can choose any of the methods you feel comfortable with. And if none of them works, consider taking your PC to a local repair shop. You may also need to change your hard drive.

When dealing with booting problems, it’s generally not recommended to force shut down your PC with the power button. Worst case, you may find a Blue Screen of Death(BSOD). So unless it’s urgent, don’t do it.
