Repair USB stick function

Topic

Dunno if it belongs to Fun or Rants, but I am somehow angry so..

Windows 10 + USB flash disk.

I plugged in the USB flash disk to copy my data on.
Window appeared stating, that this USB stick has to be repaired, because it contains errors.
So I clicked Scan and repair.

Another window appeared stating that my USB needs to be repaired, so I clicked Scan for errors (recommended) button again, just to be sure I clicked the correct button in the first place.

And behold. result was “no errors were found.”

Is this a joke? Winows is flooded with features like this. This is so typical. Two contradictionary statements in one minute, one negating the other.

I never get used to this (nonsence?) . After a couple of negative experiences I normally do a manual admin “chkdsk /f “, and when that is not sufficient a restart does miracles. 😇

You were right to put this information in Rants. I’ve read about so many nonsensical, crazy problems with Win 10 over the past five years that I’ll not have Win 10 on a computer that I paid good money for.  Yes, in my opinion Win 10 is a joke.  There are those who will no doubt disagree with me but I’m becoming fond of Linux and I see that as what I’ll be using from now on.  I still really like my Win 7 which will become part of my “hall of fame” eventually along with Win XP which I still have and use off line.

I always liked Windows, but this user torture is too much. Just look at internet. Its full of people begging for help, ’cause their PC is broken with updates or stuck!
This is so unnescessary. I decided not long ago, that MSFT wont get any cent of my money never ever again. I cant make them change their mind. I have no power over what MSFT does, but I simply do not like it.
I am going to always buy and recommend Mac, or PC with linux – Mint, Fedora, you name it. Never Windows 10, Windows 10 X, Windows 10 S and all other rubbish.

The last two times I received a similar warning (on Win 7), the “repair” wiped all data off the USB stick.  (In both cases I had a backup of the content on my pc.) So for a year I’ve always chosen to ignore the warning with no problems.
