This may work as a manual override

There are a few ways to manually override this. The first is to run CHKDSK
/F on the drive in question; if it runs successfully, the AUTOCHK.EXE
command is cleared and the system will no longer be checked at each reboot.
Another way to do it is to edit the Registry directly and remove the
AUTOCHK command. To do this, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager in the
Registry and look for a REG_MULTI_SZ value with the name BootExecute. Set
the value of BootExecute to a null value. This will prevent AUTOCHK from
running on next reboot.

On the whole, it's safest to first attempt to use CHKDSK /F on the drive
that is being repeatedly checked at startup. Editing BootExecute should
only be done if CHKDSK doesn't seem to be working. Running CHKDSK also has
the added bonus of manually clearing the dirty bit.
