  2. Windows 10 and deleting the hidden partitions

    I talked to the defrag show guys and they said the old windows 7 - 8.1 system restore partitions are no longer used.

    and I can remove them. other hidden partition I show contact the manufacture of the pc.

    they also said to backup first and be careful when removing the hidden partitions.

    Channel 9's defrag show and defrag tool the best Microsoft tech help out there.

  3. Automatically

    Yes - that is the way it worked in Windows 7; Microsoft changed that in Windows 8 and has kept it the old way.



    Quoting an answer elsewhere:

    "This was changed in Windows 8:

    MSFT answered it here on channel9:

    Defrag: Deprecated HW, Deleted Partition, Disabling Right Click Animation

    Defrag: Deprecated HW, Deleted Partition, Disabling Right Click Animation

    @ 13:50 - Is there a way to make Snipping Tool in Win8 active on launch.

    MSFT says it was changed on customers feedback."

    I have not found a reliable way to do it. There are other tools that can do it.

    In practical terms the hidden/system/inaccessible partitions are not intended to be used so defragging is not necessary.

    How big was the partition? Does it still show in Disk Management?

    Has a drive letter been assigned to it in Disk Management?

    Please post a screenshot when you run
    diskmgmt.msc from a command prompt

    and what your defrag program (which?) is showing.
    Thanks

  11. I've been using the default defragmentation program.

    But after 2-3 restarts it's ok. For one reason or another.

    Thanks anyway!
