You can optionally shut down the computer after the defrag has finished. Scheduling defrags with Wise Care is not supported. Something I don't like is that a small advertisement about the full version of the program is always displayed in Wise Care Also, some of the features and options are only available in the professional version. Windows 10 is the most popular desktop OS in the world right now and Microsoft is continuing to improve it. However, there is a growing perception among users that Windows is not on par with other operating systems and the performance deteriorates over time.
In this article, I will discuss the problem of fragmentation and share some easy steps to defrag Windows To understand defragmentation, we need to begin with fragmentation first.
In simple terms, fragmentation is a process of spreading data across different sectors of the hard disk. It usually happens when there is no contiguous block of memory available to store a file. In such situations, the file is split into several data chunks and spread across different blocks of the hard drive.
And defragmentation is, you guessed it right, a process to bring the scattered pieces of data at one place. Fragmentation is not much of a problem if you have an ample amount of free storage on your PC.
However, when there is a space constraint, it becomes harder for the hard drive to allocate data in contiguous blocks. The problem becomes worse when files are moved, deleted or modified from the hard drive over a long period of time. In such cases, the data is spread across different sectors of the hard drive. So we should defrag Windows 10 periodically so that chunks of files are kept closer to each other.
And as a result, it will speed up your Windows PC. Of course, you should. However, Windows 10 automatically defragments the hard disk every week. Whenever Windows finds your PC is sitting idle, it runs a scheduled task in the background which defragments Windows If you want to check when was the last time your hard disk was defragmented, press Windows and R key at once and type dfrgui.
Now, hit enter. It will open the Defragmentation window. To find out the type of memory storage, open the Run window again by pressing Windows and R key. After that, type dfrgui and hit enter. Having said that, if you are not happy with the scheduled defragmentation or want to manually defrag Windows 10 then move to the next section to learn about the steps in detail. If you want to manually defrag Windows 10 then here are the three different ways to do it.
You can choose any of them based on what you find convenient. So without wasting any time, here we go. As we already know there is an inbuilt tool to defragment Windows Here, we will learn how to manually analyze the hard disk and then defragment it.
You can also configure various settings related to defragmentation. Here are the steps to do it. Open the Run window by pressing Windows and R key simultaneously. Here, type dfrgui and hit enter. Windows will start the defragmentation process. Do note that the time to complete the process will depend on how long you have been using your PC.
The lower it is, the better. Here, you can change the frequency to daily, weekly or monthly. Also, you can choose the specific drives to be automatically defragmented. It is a popular defragmentation tool for both beginners and advanced users. It also shows allocated and available memory blocks. In addition, you get scheduled defragmentation similar to the native tool on Windows Let us know if you need further assistance.
Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Thank you. I had already done that. The problem is that the resulting menu only gives the opportunity of selecting Daily, Weekly or Monthly and the drives, but there is no way of entering that I want to defrag for example every Thursday at 2 pm. It is the ability to schedule the defrag so specifically that I am looking for. Thank you for the additional details. However, we'd love to have that feature. We suggest you to post a feedback regarding this awesome feature for optimizing and defragment in Windows On your search bar, type Windows feedback and it will route you to Windows store for you to download the application and send the feedback to improve Windows Klicken Sie auf Jetzt defragmentieren.
