Windows 10: system defrag

My Windows 10 SYSTEM is 15% fragmented and should be optimized. When I click on optimize it very quickly runs down the percentage numbers as though it's doing it's job. But then it settles again at 15%. I already tried a manual defrag command. That didn't help. All my other drives are perfect.

Defrag system

That's normal. Nothing to worry about.

 

Defrag system

Using Windows 10 and my hard drive appears to be fine except for system which jumps from 67% to 33% but then I reanalyze and nothing. Could it be that my anti-virus is blocking it?

 

What type of drive is it? Make and model....

 

I have not been using the built-in disk defrag for years. So, I can't comment on it.

I use Ausloics disk Defrag to do the job. It is a free program.
I've just installed Disk Defrag Free, a great tool to make your PC run fast and smooth

Give it a try. See if you like it.

 

Before changing the picture too much, it would be nice to know the hardware.

Coned1022, what kind of drive is it? A screenshot of the Defrag screen would also be helpful.

Agree fully with you there
So fast and does an excellent job

 

My computer is an HP TouchSmart. System Type: 64-bit OS, x 64-based processor. If that's not what you wanted to know, please let me know where I can find that info

 

Did the defrag using auslogics.com. Still have the same problem. Here is the print screen of the defrag screen

 

If you could take a screenshot of the screen where you are optimizing your disk drives and still see the 15%, that would be helpful. Follow these two tutorials on how to take a screenshot and how to post the picture here in your reply. Your screenshot should look similar to this:

Ok, there's your answer. That is a reserved system partition. With no drive letter. It cannot be defragged. It's small, about 100MB. Just ignore it.

 

Thank you for the Info. One less thing to worry about I guess. I still have some issues with this machine but I'll save them for another day. LOL!!!

 

You're welcome. And by the way, Auslogics is far superior to the defrag that comes with Windows. And the reason Auslogics didn't make any difference is that it did not see that partition because it has no drive letter. You have nothing to be concerned about, with defrag! Have a good one! TC
