Computer idiot here. Every time I boot windows, just before the password screen some text appears asking me to "check hard drive for inconsistency", "check hard drive for bad sectors" or some shit like that. I usually press any key and skip the process. But today, when that screen popped, I was making some coffee and forgot to skip the process. It was at 49% completion and it just got stuck there. Since I'm very impatient, I resetted, booted again and this time I skipped that shitty process. But now, a lot of movies, documentaries, anime and many more data at root C: folder are corrupted and I can't play them at all. Is there a way to get them back or do I need to torrent it all. I'm so mad and pissed right now.

Make backups of the data you store on chink drives idiot

If you don't know, don't act on it as if you know.

Try rubbing the disk with your peepee.

It was all good before. It's all bad now because I haven't been there to skip this shitty process (was making coffee and forgot about it). Now I lost about 30GB of documentaries, anime, movies and much more which had no problem playing before (many episodes and files are now corrupted and unplayable) and I have to torrent all over again. Fuck Windows! How do I turn off this "inconsistency checking" or whatever which pops everytime I boot?

shutdown properly so the volume never gets into an unclean state

You can't unless you check it fully. There's a "dirty bit" enabled on a partition for that, it can be set from Windows but can't be removed.

No fuck you dude you're an absolute idiot for not having a backup and then replacing the hard drive at first sign of potential failure

NTFS is horrible.
Look into BTRFS or ZFS if you want a filesystem that doesn't eat itself.
But STOP everything and use ddrescue to move all your data off your disk. Now.

this, i would not trust op's volume anymore, and since ntfs doesn't do checksumming, you'll never truly know what condition everything is in
