Adjusting the automatic disk check timeout period

When Windows restarts following some types of unplanned shutdown or after a
disk modification, Windows performs an automatic disk check on the system
hard drives to ensure data consistency. Prior to each volume being checked,
the system displays a message allowing the user to skip the disk check by
pressing a key. This message is shown for ten seconds per volume.
This tweak allows you to eliminate, reduce or extend the time-out period
accordingly.

To adjust the automatic disk check timeout period:

Use a registry editing tool to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

Insert a value with the following details:
Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: AutoChkTimeOut
Value: 0 (zero) to disable the timeout completely
1 to 60 - the number of seconds you wish the timeout displayed

Reboot your machine for the change to take effect
Please note: All numeric values are shown in decimal notation.
