    Disk defragment is stuck


    Hello!So I have seen that the C drive is 10% fragmented so I decided to do a defragment.The disk defragment have been running for 8 hours and now it got stuck at Pass 7:0% consolidated. It's stuck at this pass for like 30-40 minutes.Should I wait or should I stop de defragment? Is it normal to run that many hours?I didn't used the computer since I started the defragment.

    Thanks!

    :)

    Disk defrag stops at 1%

    Hi Dennis

    Many thanks for your reply. I have tried to do as you suggest, but there doesn't appear to be an Applog file under C:/Windows. Not sure whether I have looked correctly - I ticked the Hidden items option on the right hand side of the view ribbon.

    One further point, the Disk Defragmenter tool does not actually get stuck or stop responding - it completes its sequence but shows that the C drive is still 1% fragmented. Before the updates, it always showed 0% defragmented.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Geoff

  3. disk defragmenting

    Sign in to your Windows 10 computer with an administrator account. It is important to use an administrator account because standard account holders cannot defrag the hard disk drive.

    Click the Start button.

    From the left pane of the Start menu, click File Explorer.

    On the opened window, from the navigation pane in the left, expand the This PC tree.

    From the expanded list, right-click Local Disk (C: ) or any other partition on which Windows 10 is installed.

    From the context menu, click Properties.

    On the opened Local Disk (C: ) Properties box, go to the Tools tab.

    From the displayed interface, under the Optimize and defragment drive section, click the Optimize button.

    On the Optimize Drives box, from the displayed list, ensure that the system drive (C: in this example) is selected.

    Click the Analyze button from below the list.

    Wait until Windows completes the analysis and displays the percentage of the fragmented files in the selected drive.

    Note: If there are no fragmented files in the drive, Windows displays a message box stating that the disk does not need to be defragmented.

    After Windows completes the analysis, click the Optimize button to start the defragmentation process on the selected volume.

    Wait until Windows defragments the drive successfully, restart the PC, and start using Windows 10 normally.

    hard disk D won't defragment

    Hi,





    File corruption is one of the reasons why you are having challenges defragmenting your hard disk. Before we proceed, we need you to answer the following questions:



    • Are you defragmenting an internal drive or an external drive?
    • Are you using the Windows defragmenter to defrag your hard disk, or is it a third party software?


    In the meantime, you can run the System File Checker tool. This will helps use scan and restore corrupted files. Here’s an
    article that will walk you through the steps on how to run the System
    File Checker tool, how to view details of the System File Checker process, and how to manually replace corrupted system files.



    We will be waiting for your response.
