    Disk Defragmenter won't let me defrag my HDD


    My computer has a HDD and an Intel optane drive installed. I opened the windows defrag tool to try and defrag my HDD and it says that both the HDD and optane drive are SSDs and can't be optimized. I found a troubleshooting guide on how to fix the defragmenter. I've already tried sfc/scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. The guide also said to check the disk defragmenter service to make sure that it is configured properly, and I can't find any disk defragmenter services listed in the services list. What can I do to get windows to defrag my HDD?

    :)

    disk defragmentation

    Hi,

    To defragment your hard disk:

    1. Click the Start button. In the search box, type Disk Defragmenter, and then in the list of results, click Disk Defragmenter.

    2. Select the disk you want to defragment.

    3. Click Analyze disk to determine if the disk needs to be defragmented or not.

    4. If fragmentation is above 10%, you should defragment the disk.

    5. Click Defragment disk, in order to defragment the disk.

    (The above method is based on Disk Defragmenter tool for Windows 8)

    Disk Defrag

    If your system has a traditional HDD, then Windows automatically runs Disk Defragmenter once a week; if your system has an SSD, Disk Defragmenter is turned off because defragmenting SSDs can hurt them.

    To open Disk Defragmenter:

    1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the drive that you want to defragment, and click Properties.

    2. Under Tools, click Defragment Now.

    That's it.

    Disk Defragmenter

    Since the latest upgrade to Windows 10 1709, disk defragmenter defragments the recovery disk to 6%. How do I get it to fully defragment the drive.
