Cannot Lock Current Drive Chkdsk Cannot Run Because the Volume Is in Use by Another Process FIX

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in the use by another process

Chkdsk is an important and little-understood command-line utility that comes with every version of Microsoft Windows. Its purpose, as its mangled name implies, is to “check” your “disk”.

In order to do its work, Chkdsk needs total and exclusive access to the disk it’s about to check. If it doesn’t have that, “Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process” results. (“Volume” in this case really means “the disk that’s being checked”.)

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,
and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1,
Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung)

When I run the chkdsk /r or any other for that matter I get
“Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

When I say Y it still starts the check and only goes through 1-2 then it restarts and does the same thing.
It keeps starting the chk desk C all over again.
