Hello,

The disk analyser (chkdsk) is used to check and correct errors on the file system. The file system corresponds to the foundations on which data is stored. Since Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, Microsoft has reduced the downtime associated with checking a disk and increased the speed of analysis.
