How can I get the results of a CHKDSK that run on boot? - powershell

Question

Problematic
CHKDSK ran when my machine rebooted, and displayed some stuff.
Problem is I have no idea what it displayed, since it then proceeded
to reboot the machine when it was done. How do I get it to stop,
pause or otherwise let me see what it did ?
chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process mean
?, CHKDSK needs exclusive access to the disk it’s checking if it’s
been instructed to attempt fixes or repairs. If that disk is your
Windows drive (C:), CHKDSK can’t have exclusive access, because
Windows is using that drive simply to run your system.
When we restart, the CHKDSK is performed before Windows is loaded.
CHKDSK runs as it normally does, and when it completes, it reboots the system – which, of course, causes any progress or results that might have been displayed on-screen to disappear.
In order to create a helpful tool for maintenance of my hard drives to check, fix and repair them for errors.
I did this batch
#echo off
Title Check Disk drives for errors and fix them by Hackoo 2016
mode con cols=67 lines=5 & Color 0A

So, my question is : How can i get the results of a CHKDSK that run on boot by batch or powershell ?

Answer 1

The information is recorded in the eventlog. You should be able to obtain it like this (using PowerShell):
Get-EventLog -LogName Application -Source Wininit |
Where-Object { $_.Message -like '*checking file system*' } |
Sort-Object TimeGenerated -Descending |
Select-Object -First 1 -Expand Message

Answer 2

I found the answer here:
get-winevent -FilterHashTable #{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | out-file Desktop\CHKDSKResults.txt
In batch file we can do like that:
#echo off
set "Log=%tmp%\CHKDSKResults.txt"
If Exist "%Log%" del "%Log%"
Powershell -Command "& "Get-winevent -FilterHashTable #{logname='Application'; id='1001'}^|?{$_.providername -match 'wininit'} ^| fl timecreated, message ^| out-file '%Log%'"
Start "" "%Log%"
EDIT : On 27/07/2016 The final code :
#echo off

mode con cols=67 lines=5 & Color 0A

set "Value=CHKDSK_ON_BOOT"
Set "Key=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"
If Exist "%TmpLog%" Del "%TmpLog%"
If exist "%Log%" Del "%Log%"
REM --> Check for permissions
