I'm working on a Win10 machine that occasionally crashes on startup with the message: Windows has encountered an error. If I run CHKDSK /F I see that CHKDSK on Win10 givers no annunciation as it did with previous Windows versions...all it does is say that the drive was repaired, then in reboots, but it did not actually fix anything. As a precaution I ran both a memory test and the mfg's full HD diagnostic ...no errors found> I then booted the machine from a Win7 live cd and ran CHKDSK /F and this time I was able to now see what CHKDSK was doing. Here is the message of note: Index entries referring to file 777285 will not be validated because this file contains too many file names. I Googled this error and most of the forums I've seen advise running a utility called diskedit.exe , then cite some complex instructions. All the responses post back saying: Tried that but it didn't work. Now I am stumped and would appreciate some help.
