Running AutoRepairs I had a system just now for which chkdsk reported "Scheduled offline repairs". It looks like the script is currently set to continue on regardless. Would it make sense to force a restart in those cases?

My understanding has always been that, if chkdsk is finding errors those should be fixed ASAP (particularly if they're serious enough to require boot-time repair) before doing additional writing/making changes to the filesystem. The whole "doing house renovation work when there's damage to the load-bearing structure" issue.

That was probably established in my mind way back in the DOS/Win3.x days though, so I'm not sure if it's still an issue?

Unable to reproduce. Code currently should reboot if offline repairs are scheduled.
