Do the following:

1. Go to Start>Run and type in “cmd” (no quotes), hit Enter;
2. Type in “fsutil dirty query C:” (no quotes) (see screenshot below) – if chkdsk keeps checking another drive, replace “c” with the corresponding drive/partition letter.
3. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 4;
4. Next type “chkdsk c: /f /x”
5. After 4) is done, repeat step 2);
6. If the drive is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more
