Installed Ubuntu on a separate ssd from Windows, Windows runs chkdsk at every startup

This might not be the right place to ask this but this has started right after I installed Ubuntu, hence it makes me wonder if the solution might have to do with Ubuntu as well.

Last weekend I set up a new SSD in my case and have successfully installed Ubuntu LTS on that SSD and have been using it happily for work since.

However, I have begun to notice that each time I boot back into Windows, it pulls up the 'Press any key to skip disk checking...' message before login pops up. I skipped it multiple times, then I followed online posts to turn off fast boot on Windows, sync Ubuntu and Windows clock and I edited the registry for Session Manager > BootExecute to add C: (Windows) drive as an exception to the auto disk check. No luck. I have also let the disk check run, and it reported no issues. Windows does not even mark any of the drives as 'dirty' hence I am at a complete loss as to why it still is insisting on prompting a check every time I boot into it.

I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with this situation. I am confident that my Windows drive is in good health and it was not doing this at all until I started Dual Booting.

Note: I run Windows 11. Ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS Desktop.

My bad! I am using LTS Desktop, and I have not mounted the Windows disk on ubuntu aside from once, and since then I have unmounted it and the disk check continues to prompt running after. AFAIK it does not automatically mount when I boot into Ubuntu (I checked this as well). There aren't any other shared drives between the two OS. Windows does not even show the drive Ubuntu is installed on and I do not mount Windows while on Ubuntu.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
