Defragment and Optimize Drives Problem

Hi Edward,

Based on the details you have provided, your C drive was unrecognized by the system. We suggest that you run these
commands and see if there are any changes:

• 
  Open
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  the following commands:
  
  • 
    To fix any logical file errors:
    
    • 
      Chkdsk C: /f /r
      
      
  • 
    To defrag your Drive C manually:
    
    • 
      Defrag C: /D /U
      

Update us on how it goes.

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.

 

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?
