Windows Terminal version

1.18.3181.0

Windows build number

Win 10 22H2 19045.3693

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Open Terminal, type chkdsk c: /f command and press enter


I honestly don't know if it was a bug or not, I just wanted to report it here.

Expected Behavior

It should show the following warning as the Windows Command Prompt says.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Actual Behavior

Terminal shows the following warning saying access is denied.

Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges or the disk may be locked by another process.
You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode and make sure the disk is unlocked.
