    I cannot alter the triggers for defrag and windows update as administrator.In defrag, it is set to run to defrag for system reserved files on C:\. It runs as soon as the PC is idle, then starts again and again, as the triggers tell it to, and I am unable to change the triggers even with administrators privileges.In windows update, it starts grinding away at my HDD every time the internet reconnects, so every time it drops out and reconnects, it starts again, and again I am unable to change the triggers even with administrators privileges.Before I had to reinstall win 10 64 pro, I was able to d

    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.

    Regards.

  3. 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?
