    Windows 8 Can I cancel an error HDD check?

    I really need to cancel it and use the computer, I only did it to see if it'd solve a problem with updating a game. If I were to turn off the computer would my computer be okay? Or is there a way to cancel it with a command? Like Ctrl+escp or something.
