defragmentation

Hi Richard,



We have a couple of workarounds for defragmentation issues, try the following:



Method 1: Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 10.

• Press Windows key+X.
• Select Command Prompt (Admin).
• In the window that opens enter chkdsk /f.
  

Method 2:
Run System File Checker (SFC).

Method 3: Check if Disk Defragmenter service is running properly.

This service is required for performing disk defragmentation, and if it’s disable, you won’t be able to run a defragmentation tool.

• Search for services.msc.
• Make sure that Disk Defragmenter service is set to
  manual.
• Also, make sure that following services are set to Automatic:
  
  Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
  
  DCOM Server Process Launcher.
  
  RPC Endpoint Mapper.
  

Let us know how it goes.

 

Questions related to defragmentation

Hello Bookum,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I will help you out with the queries regarding disk defragmentation.

Defragmentation will work even if the computer goes to sleep mode.

However, if you face any issue, you can change the sleep mode time.

Follow the steps below:

• Type "power options" in start menu and select Power options.
• Select "Change plan settings" next to "Balanced".
• Change the time for sleep mode.

And, if you interrupt the defragmentation in between, the defragmentation will start from first when you perform again.

I hope this information helps.

Thank you.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
