  2. Windows Defrag

    When running defrag, there is a drive listing for Windows RE Tools. It shows as a solid state drive and that it has never been defragged. It will not optimize. Clicking on it does nothing. Any suggestions?

    defragging

    Strange no Microsoft/Windows/Performance details are listed...Defrag has 1 serious flaw,it can not defrag files that are in use,running defrag in Win Explorer isn't practicle.To defrag,R.click on cmd prompt/run as Administrator/in cmd type: Defrag C:
    its that simple,plus run diskclean up before,one can in cmd type: CLEANMGR run in cmd...Their is a Ultimate Defrag setting,one should have multiple HDs running/set in Advanced system,set C: drive to "No Page File" in Virtual memory,set,restart pc,back on
    desktop,open cmd,type: Defrag C: once thru,reset it in Virtual Memory,restart pc..This setting,the OS files/folders are able to get defragged,as page file doesn't exist on C: but on another HD....

    defrag

    Hi Kim,

    It is important to use an administrator account because standard account holders
    cannot defrag the hard disk drive. We would like to ask for additional information. Please provide the following:

    • Which build of Windows 10 are you using? To know about it, hit
      Start, type Winver and then press
      Enter. You could also press Windows Key + R, type
      Winver into the
      Run dialog and press Enter.
    • Are you using the administrator account on your computer or a Microsoft/guest account?
    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • Since you've mentioned that it refuses to defrag, can you please provide us with a screenshot of it? You may refer to this

      link
      on how to include a screenshot in your post.

    Moreover, we recommend that you use the administrator account registered on your computer the defrag it. To optimize them:

    • Select the search bar on the taskbar and enter defrag.

    • Select Defragment and Optimize Drives.

    • Select the disk drive you want to optimize.

    • Select the Optimize button.

    Looking forward to the requested information and the results of the recommended troubleshooting steps.
