Good day all,
I recently encountered an issue with a friend's Inspiron laptop I've never seen before, and one that has resisted what I believed would be the fix. Each time the computer is booted, beneath the Dell logo just before the lock screen, a message reads:
Scanning and repairing drive (\\?\Volume{70dec3d5-1deb-41f2-bb24-cb9670d342b0})
The counter reaches 100% in a matter of seconds and boot continues normally. This seems to indicate something wrong with the drive; an integrity scan did not report the drive as failing or damaged and a full chkdsk did not report any issues. Despite this the message persists.
The laptop is running Windows 10, a copy that was downloaded from the upgrade period last year. I suspect it could be a faulty update because the problem only manifested itself a couple of days ago. Let me know if you have any ideas because this one has me stumped!
