I disabled HP Health Check Service because it caused problems from the very first.Īll of this effort is to try to resolve a delay at bootup.
I uninstalled the Windows 10 and PDF Complete bloatware trials. I have installed AVG (which I've used for years and have installed on two other notebooks with no problems at all). I have recently reset my notebook to factory settings, and have updated the BIOS and drivers from the HP site. I've now reverted as far back as the earliest restore point, and have repeated the CHKDSK after each reversion with the same results. It suggested that I revert to a system restore point. CHKDSK C: /f resulted in 'Cannot lock current driver' and 'in use by another process' and the opportunity to schedule the check for the next bootup.Īt the next bootup, CHKDSK resulted in 'Cannot open volume for direct access' and 'error from recently installed software package'.
