  2. defrag and optimize drives

    When I go to defrag & optimize drives one of the drives that is listed as "needs optimization" (12% fragmented) is listed as //?/Volume(a27a9b76-0000-0000-0000-40d6e5000000)/ Can I or should I ignore this?

  3. Volume defrag

    You can actually remove it from the list of the drives you want to optimize on a regular schedule. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

    • Search for Defragment and Optimize drive.
    • Under Optimize Drives, click the Change settings button.
    • Under Optimization schedule, click the Choose beside Drives.
    • Uncheck the \\?\Volume drive to remove it from the list.

    We would appreciate an update about how it went.

    Defragment and Optimize Drive:

    Hi,

    Defragment and Optimizing your drives can help your PC boot faster and run smoothly. Regarding the screenshot you provided, it looks like the process is running as intended. This process also takes a long time to be completed depending on the size of your
    hard drive, the partition size and the storage file types.

    If you are experiencing issues, please provide the following details:

    • What error message are you getting?
    • Did the defragment progress?
    • On what percentage is it currently on after sending the screenshot?

    We look forward to your response so we can assist you.
