    Difficulty with Defraging (Optimize) system Windows 10

    When I go to Defrag and Optimize I see the OS C: drive and a system drive. The system drive says 11 percent defragmented and needs optimization. Yet when I hit the analyze or optimize button It simply quickly returns to the same statement and does not
    run any type of defragmentation. The OS C drive will. How can I defrag the sytem

  3. Defragment and Optimize Drives Problem

    I can't get the Defragment and Optimize Drives to recognize my "C" drive.

    When I click on the shortcut (Start menu) in Windows Administrative Tools. Nothing Happens. I tried going through File Manager, click on the Manage Tab, followed by clicking on Optimize button Nothing happens.

    The only time I can get it to function is when I have my portable hard drive connected. However, when I click on Defragment and Optimize Drives the only drive showing is my portable hard Drive. The "C" drive does not appear nor is it recognized by the Defrag
    program

    Defragment and Optimize C drive

    You could try booting from a repair disk or your Windows 10 install media, then entering this command at the command prompt:

    Code: defrag <drive-letter>: /u /v[/quote] This will quickly tell you if something's wrong with the drive itself and it can't be defragged, or if it's an issue with Windows .
    HTH,

    How much free space do you have on your C: drive? With XP you needed at least 15% free space for defrag to be able to completely defrag the drive. That limit has been reduced now, but you still need some free space to be able to defrag effectively.

  7. Lets defragment free space, boot files and C: partition hopefully this will resolve the fragmentation problem. If not then use free defragmentation software.

    Please open the Command Prompt by typing cmd.exe into or Start Menu, right-click on Cmd.exe, and open it as an administrator.

    Execute following commands one at a time.

    Code: Defrag C: /x /v /u /h Defrag C: /b /v /u /h Defrag C: /v /u /h[/quote]
