How to read the latest Chkdsk event viewer log in PowerShell (on Windows 10)?

Question

As I find it rather cumbersome to run Event Viewer and filter out the latest Chkdsk log, may I poke a question:

How to read the latest Chkdsk event viewer log in PowerShell (on Windows 10)?

My humble requirements for the solution:

• It has to be done in PowerShell (not ISE, normal PowerShell terminal).

• It has to be done without Administrator privileges (to save some mouse clicks).

Important notes:

• I mean the Chkdsk scheduled at boot for the system drive, usually C:.

• Apart from the log, it should output the date and time, if possible.

I managed to find a solution, which does not look pretty, but you can always create an alias function for it:

Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"} | ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | Format-List TimeCreated, Message
