CHKDSK occasionally runs on SSD at startup
Boggin:
Yeah - that's the thing :(
Does Event Viewer have anything recorded for the days that chkdsk ran ?
Reliability history may also have something.
Still_Game:
I've done some forensics to see if there's any smoking gun, but nothing jumps out at me. I'm just running a backup now before I dabble further 😬
Still_Game:
Managed to stop hibernation after the backup, checked Dirty Bit (OK). rebooted (no auto CHKDSK occured (all OK)), re-started hibernation, checked Dirty Bit again (OK) - so, on the principle that it's not wise to make too many changes at once, I'll leave well alone for the moment and see if the problem returns..................
Boggin:
Well with a clean Hiberfil file, perhaps chkdsk won't find anything that worries it.
The thing is though that if you've created a back up with a corrupt Hiberfil file then you could be storing a problem.
What do you use for backing up ?
I use Macrium Reflect Free for creating system images which has the advantage of creating separate images which I can go back through if needed.
Still_Game:
I've used Future Systems Solutions Casper for years, now on version 10,x, to create clones which are backed up incrementally. Currently, I do that to 3 HDDs in 2.5 inch USB enclosure on a rotating basis - roughly weekly. I occasionally make a system image as well, using the same software. I also make regular backups of my Outlook PST files to DVD - I've got stuff going back YEARS in the PST archive file. I know that Macrium Reflect free seems to be the software of choice for most people but I've used Casperso long, it's reasonably priced and it's been very reliable, aside from the occasional quirk - and their support is first class.
I take your point about a currupt hyberfil.sys file perpetuating, though. I guess I could use powercfg -h off and then reboot, then powercfg -h on and I should have a new file? I think!
