Windows 10 Startup and Shutdown Confusion

[Noah_24]

So I have recently noticed that when starting up my computer, I am presented with a new bios screen, that I have never seen before; it says "Pres any key to skip disk check". I have had this computer for a year and a half and haven't encountered that screen until now. Anyways, later that night when I was putting my computer to sleep, I had to force shut down, because the computer was staying on, but with nothing displayed on the screen and no clear input from keyboard/mouse available. Then when I start up my computer this morning, I get the same message asking to perform a disk check. I have never done a disk check up until now and my disk is performing just fine as far as I can tell. I have a light on my motherboard that stays lit if there is a disk problem anyways so I don't need some bios check running every startup. I definitely can't have my computer needing to be manual shut down every time I try to put it to sleep either. Can anyone offer any insight on this strangeness, because I have never seen anything like this before.

I have seen Windows PCs take as long as 15 minutes to shutdown after apparently doing nothing.
You interrupted Windows doing something by "forcing" a shutdown.
Windows needs to check its File System. Do the check.

I was putting to sleep, not shutting down (does it matter which one anyways?). You also said that I interrupted Windows doing something with a shutdown, and that I should do the check. Are you saying that I interrupted it going to sleep and should let it check then, or that I interrupted the check on startup bios screen and I should let that play out, or both. Sorry for so many questions, I have just never had this happen before and want to be clear I am doing things right so it doesn't happen again.

Just run the check. Then when completed, put the computer to sleep and then start it up again to confirm successful disk check.

I think this is a common issue.
Which windows are you running?
