“Chkdsk Cannot Run Because the Volume Is in Use by Another Process”
☑️ Chkdsk checks your disk for errors at a low level, requiring exclusive access to the disk to do so. "Chkdsk cannot run... Volume is in use" means it doesn't have the exclusive access it needs.
CHKDSK and a disk in use
– Chkdsk requires exclusive access to a disk in order to make repairs.
– “Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process” results when any other program is accessing the hard disk.
– Windows itself is often that other program.
– Running Chkdsk as part of the next system boot is the most common solution.
