The reason for the ScanDisk running at startup is that you have a bad
shutdown. Disable the ScanDisk does not solve any thing. Sooner or later,
your disk will get corrupted because of the improper shutdown. Windows has a
Write-back file cache mechanism. When OS or application want to write
something to your disk, it does not write to the disk directly. Instead, it
writes to the memory cache and will write back to disk after certain time
(30 seconds?) to speed up the disk performance. In many times, a bad
shutdown does not cause any problem but some time it does. When it happens,
in most case, you have a corrupted FAT table and Scandisk will try to
recover it with the backup FAT table and fix the mis-linked clusters.
Without doing this house keeping, you're risking losing new data you stored
into the system sooner or later.
You should try to identify the true reason why the machine does not shutdown
properly.
