    This PC view of disk drives not showing percent of drive used


    How do I get my Windows 10 machine to show percent of drive used by default?

    I miss the old pie chart view that showed by default how much space I had on a drive. How do I configure that in W10?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Defrangmentation and Optimization

    The Microsoft optimizing tool on my hp laptop running Windows 10 Pro tests for fragmentation. The SYSTEM hard drive disk (not C, not Recovery, not HP_Tools) shows 17 percent fragmented and declares the need to defragment. Defragmenting SYSTEM drops it
    immediately to 8 percent but no farther. It has been this way since installing Windows 10. Why does the Microsoft tool state that the SYSTEM disk needs defragmenting? Is it an error in my system or is the tool showing information that is not important?

    After upgrading from Windows7 to Windows10 my PC’s (HDD) Hard Disk Drive is defined in W-10 as Media Type = Solid State Drive (SSD). W-10 is working OK

    Good morning/evening Deepika, Thanks for the prompt reply.

    When notified the W-10 Windows upgrade was downloaded and installed.

    View Drive Status on the Optimize Drive window.

    My Desktop PC was running slower and I tried to run W-10 Defragmentation/Optimization. The “Optimize Drive Status Window” showed 4 Drives [ C: OS, D: RECOVERY, SYSTEM, ? volume] with “Media Type=Solid State Drive” and “Current Status=Optimization not available
    “. These 4 drives are physically on a Seagate Hard Disc Drive

    I checked the W-10 “Optimize Drive Status Window” on other PCs with Hard Disk Drives and they show “Media Type = Hard disk drive”.

    The resulting problem is W-10 will not let me Defrag the Hard disk drives because they are defined as SSDs.

    Thanks for your support.
