How to get windows to not do disk checking or ruin my bootloader when i add a linux partition on the same drive. I don't like the windows panicking when there is a linux partition on it and doing a variety of things, even if its not on the same ssd it STILL does disk checking but I have not seen anything worse than that on the same partition, but I need the space.

Dunno if this belongs in the linux subreddit but I mean if there is any way i can hide linux that could also work.

I haven't properly used Windows in a long time, but I have a feeling the disk checking might be caused by fast startup. Basically Windows hibernates instead of fully shutting down, and the disk should never be touched while hibernated. But if you have the NTFS partition mounted in Linux, then it touches the disk anyway.

Is fast startup enabled in Windows? If so, try disabling it. It also isn't needed on SSDs and does more harm than good.
