The brief 10‑second “press any key to skip” countdown described by is the Windows boot-time disk check (autochk/chkdsk). As asked for details, the behavior — a scan of C: every startup that can be skipped for that boot — strongly suggests Windows sees the volume as “dirty” or there are file‑system errors that are being scheduled for repair. Skipping the check prevents the immediate repair but does not fix the root cause.

Recommended immediate steps (run from an elevated Command Prompt):

chkdsk C: /f /r
fsutil dirty query C:
chkntfs C:
chkntfs /x C:
sfc /scannow
wmic diskdrive get status

Allow chkdsk C: /f /r to run at the next restart so Windows can repair file‑system errors and attempt to recover bad sectors. fsutil dirty query C: reports whether the volume’s dirty bit is set. chkntfs C: shows whether a check is scheduled; chkntfs /x C: will exclude C: from scheduled checks (use only as a temporary workaround — it hides problems, it does not fix them). After disk repairs finish, run sfc /scannow to validate system files.

If the check repeats after a successful repair, look for hardware causes and shutdown issues: check Event Viewer (look for Wininit/chkdsk entries and disk errors), examine SMART using the drive maker’s diagnostics, and test memory (bad RAM can cause file corruption). Important: keep a current backup of personal data. Repeated bad‑sector reports or failing SMART attributes usually mean the drive should be imaged and replaced.

Please be more specific and provide more details. Also, what do you mean by "SCAN whole laptop with C Drive"?
