Running Windows 10 Pro 1903 number 18363
I followed steps from Windows Central post entitled "how-move-default-user-folders-new-drive-windows-10" (and works perfectly...for a time).
HOWEVER
"IF" Windows does a "Startup" chkdsk, it makes drive D:\ "not accessible".
There is an option to "skip disk checking for 8 second(s), but if I don't skip the chkdsk, it goes through "Fixing (D Stage 2 100% (724 of 724); Total: 70% ETA: 0:00:01.."...then..."Fixing (D Stage 2 100% (43 of 43); Total: 0% ETA: 999:00:0.."...then..."Fixing (D Stage 3 100% (0 of 0); Total: 99% ETA: 0:00:00.."...then..."Scanning and repairing drive (D: 100% complete...then "D:\D User\Desktop is unavailable...." (OR by double-clicking on it in Windows Explorer I get the error message "D:\ is not accessible. Access is denied")
Now, I CAN get the greyed out NTFS drive to show back up by right-clicking and enabling the "Authenticated Users" Security protocol again, BUT (although it show data on the drive in Windows Explorer) if I double-click on the drive it show empty.
SEVERAL QUESTIONS:
1. How do I PREVENT chkdsk from doing this again (short of bypassing the check during first 8 seconds of startup) OR MORE PROPERLY...How do I get chkdsk to recognize that this is a PROPER file system (Volume Information, etc.) and that I moved the "Default User Folders"?
2. How OFTEN does chkdsk run on startup? (I was under the impression it was EVERY TIME BUT after moving the Default User Folders, I shut down and started up my computer for two to three days before it made the changes. Once, it did it on the same day, just after I moved the folders.)
3. As an alternative, AFTER I re-enable (actually re-"Add") the "Users" and "Authenticated Users" Security Profiles ("SYSTEM" and "Administrators" do NOT disappear)...How can I get to the data, files and folders on the drive? (Remember it shows data but double-clicking the drive shows "This folder is empty")
