Escape unwanted disk checks at startup

Click Start and type cmd into the search box, then right-click cmd.exe in the search results and choose ‘Run as Administrator'. Enter the command chkntfs /x D: to exclude drive D from being checked at bootup.
Reboot your PC. The automatic consistency check should no longer occur.
Open another command prompt with Admin privileges. Type chkdsk /f /r D: to run a full check on your drive and fix any problems found.
Run the command fsutil dirty query D: to verify that the drive is clean. The system should report ‘Volume – D: is NOT Dirty'. Reboot the computer one more time and the problem should be fixed.
