Users can cancel a chkdsk by setting the dirtybit to false
Manually Reset or Clear Dirty Bit in Windows without using CHKDSK
Affected machines can be restored to working state by using a bootable partition manager to scan and recover the partition header using tools such as Minitool, Aomei, etc.

I'm a compulsive "cleaner". Good thing I haven't manually chkdsk for some time!

If you read the article at all, it says that the problem steams from doing chkdsk on SSDs. Doing so on HDDs result in no errors.

So, is this what happens when people code at home, or did the holidays start a bit early at the Microsoft campus?

I'm pretty sure that in general people code better at home than in the office. How come you feel like it's the opposite?

Agile programming QUALITY!

The computer's that were updated could have had a corrupt system before-hand, just that the update broke the camel's back
Will try to recreate this at work today, assuming this was done before Windows actually boots as you will likely get an in-use error if you use /f while the operating system drive is booted.
Edit: after trying about 5 different ways (with different chkdsk options including /f) through a newly-imaged 19042.685 system from our MDT deployment that has an NVMe SSD, I cannot reproduce the issue.
This was on a dell Optiplex 7070 desktop.

Why?

Why what?

Why are you sure that in general people code better at home than in the office?

Main reason is because workers rest more. Depending on country, people usually take a couple of hours per day to go to work and back (some more, some less). Most developed countries have a limit to worked hours per year, extra hours, etc. so work from home people are better rested and less stressed. US might be an exception of 1st world country limiting working hours to healthy amounts (some of my US colleagues are working 12-16 hours a day
, which is retarded because people are much less productive, make more mistakes, etc.) but other 1st world countries seem to get an uplift of quality of life and of productivity with the new work from home policies.

Holy molly, dodged a bullet right there.

I just ran it on all my drives, no problems. NVMe SSD, old SATA SSD and HDD running 19042.685. I suspect 3rd party software is conflicting here. Probably anti-virus or drive encryption (which I have none of).

You sir are a daredevil!

Nothing stops you from overworking at home, especially if single. That`s just how people treat themselves.
And if you are not single then there could be problems with "working environment".
And you could get disconnected from team. Team can be very friendly and helpful.
I prefer to program in office. I always listen music and read books/doze while on the wat from/to work.
PS And the most of all - you have to show steel discipline to fight off distractions when working at home.

You totally disregarded the bulk of my message and wrote what you came here to say.
mbk1969
In my first sentence I regarded what you say in the bulk of your message. You write the "rules", the "what is good", the "studies", but people frequently harm themselves even knowing all that stuff.
You say "you rest more if you work at home", but I say "no if you do not sleep/eat/rest and just code all night (being not needed to go outside)".
PS I don`t know about 1st rate countries, but in all of my work places here in Moscow developers have no fix time schedule, they can arrive at their will and then work to sum 40 hours per week. So traffic jams and peak hours can be avoided.

What part of "most developed countries have a limit to worked hours per year, extra hours, etc." did you not understand? "Nothing stops you from overworking at home"... Yes, the law. In most developed countries it's illegal to overwork.

20H2 is great. No issues at homeplace or my ministry office.
Working from home is trash. I cannot replace my own office. Do not forget software quality fell considerably during 2020 due to COVID-19. Sociability is an irreplaceable perk. Quarantine denies your outer existence. Either on education or workplace. I hate both my studies and work for now.
