    Guys IDK what to do. PC updated a few days ago and ever since then, this thing acts possessed anytime I try and do maintenance. It's a Asus ROG laptop from 2014 but it's always been dependable. Now, since this update, it's difficult at best to keep my system running clean. Any advice? Even activating these programs via powershell or with admin rights doesn't even help.

    Update: 20H2 Build 19042.789 Feature pack: 120.2212.551.0

    Thanks

  2. Defragment and Optimize Disk won't open in Local Services

    Defragment and Optimize Disks service is missing from list of Windows 10 services. It shows up on list of Administrative Tools in the Control Panel, but won't open even when using "Run as Administrator". I have run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    in the command prompt and it still does not fix the issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Defraggler, but still it does not show up on the local services list. I have run Dell Support Assist and no problems are found. All of this makes Norton Security
    unable to Optimize Disk. Norton says it is a problem with the defragment app on Windows and were no help at all.

    I am running a Dell Inspiron 5379 with 1TB HHD, 8GB ram and the latest updates of Windows 10 installed.

  3. Unable to Connect to Logical Disk Manager Service Error in Computer Management

    WELL, I'll be an "S.O.B."! I got it... lol, just now!

    Apparently, & I am going to record this & BOOKMARK/FAV it in my webbrowsers as "HOW TO FIX LOGICAL DISK MANAGER HASSLES" (lol), it is SOMETHING in my services!

    You need THIS list of them running (provided you have them online that is, some OS won't have SOME of these (this is Windows Server 2003) & some are 3rd party & won't matter):


    Disk Optimizer, Services.msc, device manager etc.... Opens and disappears since windows... SERVICESNEEDEDFORLOGICALDISKMGT2SERVICES.jpg


    * NO SAFE MODE REQUIRED - THIS FIXED IT, PURELY SERVICES RELATED... oddly, no "dependencies" other than the ones the services need (RPC & Plug n Play) are listed in the 2 services for Logical Disk Management... it's like MS missed (somehow) the fact that there IS other dependencies on other services than what they list!

    That list above is PROBABLY "overkill" & it is only a fraction of that list above, but the point is there... with ALL of those active? Logical Disk Manager "gets its act together" again & works!

    APK

    P.S.=> BRB, with screenshot of services & their startup status needed for this to work, in case anyone else hits this... it is a real you-know-what if you can't get to a disk to format it, lol... so, recording it for everyone's sake! apk

    external hard drive showing up in device management but not disk management

    Hi,

    I recently tried to use a brand new Seagate 2TB External HD, but it is not showing up. It initially showed up, but after I tried reformatting it to exFAT32, it disappeared from the disk management list.

    I then tried:

    • refreshing the disk management list,
    • inserting into a different USB port,
    • re-starting my computer, and
    • uninstalling the device from device manager/letting it refresh,

    I still can't see it. There is no yellow error in the USB controller list.

    I'm on Windows 10.

    Intel i5-3317U @ 1.7GHz

    Any suggestions? Thanks!
