Nice

[earnest tinsel]

on this pc i have dual boot and i want to remove the linux

when i boot into windows it's really slow and you can't do anything

and rn it doesnt even boot it just stays loading

but idk what to do here

I think i had installed linux and when i boot into windows it's really really slow and doesnt even boot it just stays loading

idk which ones to delete

[fallen canopy]

dont delete anything more, ESPECIALLY not the EFI partition

if Windows is booting slow, it may be because you're still entering it via GRUB.

simply go into BIOS setup, boot category, boot priorities, and put Windows boot manager at the top of list.

[earnest tinsel]

it is already first

windows boot manager

im in bios rn

[fallen canopy]

ah ok, well that's that done

once you boot to windows desktop, open a command prompt thing, and do chkdsk c: that will do a check-disk scan, and help Windows sort out that you expanded the capacity.. after that it should be fine.

[earnest tinsel]

ok

ill try that

[earnest tinsel]

it just finished

but i think it didnt work

[fallen canopy]

do the chkdsk /F command (no need to put C: cuz ur already in that path/location)

[earnest tinsel]

ok

[earnest tinsel]

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

[fallen canopy]

reboot in safe mode @earnest tinsel then try again

[earnest tinsel]

i rebooted but not in safe mode

is that bad

[fallen canopy]

well try it again now

if still no-go, then safe mode

chkdsk /F on the c: path and let it fix. should be good to boot quicker after that

[earnest tinsel]

It's already checking or whatever

[earnest tinsel]

ok it just restarted

i think it's fine now not slow anymore

should i do anything else
