"Scan Drive for Errors": 6 months of non stop problems with Windows 10

B

Hello everybody, I'm not big on posting in forums but I am truly desperate at this point.

For over six months I've been in a daily struggle with my laptop, just to use Windows 10 for basic functions.


I'll try to keep the description as brief as possible, but basically around September 2020 I started getting a notification that read "scan drive for errors".

I would follow the steps, restart and let the computer scan and fix the files. But within hours I would get the same notification.


I've pretty much done everything I've read on this issue here on Microsoft Answers, and yet the problems remain.

I've done sfc /scannow, chkdsk, dism, and all the other relevant command prompts. It appears that they work, but sure enough the problems return sooner or later.


I've also reinstalled Windows 10 about 30-50 times since then with the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, and yet the problems remain.

I've gotten to the point where I get the "scan drive for errors" notification on my initial startup of Windows 10 (after installation).


I thought maybe the problem was the way I installed it, so just to make sure I've deleted and created one new partition during install - and still the errors remain.


I cannot for the life of me figure this one out, and it seems like no matter what I do I eventually wind up with a bad OS.


So I guess my question is...what can I do? Is it possible this is a hardware issue and not software? Literally nothing changed back in September when the issues started.


Also, I know sometimes people ask for computer specs in order to provide answers. If this is the case, just tell me what specs you need and I'll post them. I can tell you that it's a genuine Windows 10 with an active subscription.


Thanks to anyone who can help!
