"Data Saved from Running chkdsk"

Occasionally, chkdsk may run upon startup when switching from Windows 10 (installed on a separate SSD) to Windows 11. If errors are detected and fixed during this process, the pertinent data is stored somewhere. Does anyone know where this data is stored and whether it can be interpreted?

    Data repaired by chkdsk is stored in the Windows Event Viewer, specifically under Windows Logs > Application. Filter events by source Wininit.
