I have recently upgraded to the Windows 10 Anniversary version & find that Disk Defrag has problems. Firstly, I have tried to optimise my Hard Disk, Drive C, and it all works OK, but at the end says that the disk is still 1% fragmented. It never did this before the upgrade to Windows 10 Anniversary. Disk Defrag For Windows 10 free download - Auslogics Disk Defrag, Smart Defrag, Auslogics Disk Defrag Ultimate, and many more programs.

Read this article to learn more about disk defragmentation or optimization in Windows 10. It will cover starting disk defragmentation from the Control Panel, or with the Command Prompt.

What is Defragmentation?

Defragmentation is a process of updating and optimizing the logical structure of a disk partition performed to ensure that files are stored in an uninterrupted sequence of clusters. That is, if the computer works with the hard disk for a long time, large files will be stored in different areas of the hard disk which, in its turn, slows down the process of reading and writing files.

With the help of defragmentation, you can move all parts of these files to adjoining sectors of the hard disk, that is, speed up your PC and improve its performance. You can perform hard disk defragmentation without using any third-party software, and all you need is already inside your operating system.

How to perform disk defragmentation in Windows 10?

In Windows 10, there are several ways you can defragment a disk using only integrated tools.

Method One: Control Panel.

Open Control Panel.

Select the view option Large Icons, then look for Administrative Tools.

Find the menu Defragment and Optimize Drives.

By default, scheduled optimization (that is, defragmentation) is enabled in Windows 10.

Click on Change settings to view details and modify them if necessary. You can enable or disable scheduled optimization every day, every week and every month, decide if you need notifications when three consecutive scheduled runs were missed, and choose the disks which you would like to optimize on schedule, and even enable or disable automatic optimization for new disks.

However, any disk can be optimized manually, at any time you think fit. First of all, you can analyze the disk to see if it needs optimization. For example, select disk D and click Analyze.

After the analysis you will see the fragmentation percentage of the disk (in my case, fragmentation is 0%). After that, click Optimize and wait until the process is over. I’d like to note that disk defragmentation can take up quite a long time, depending on the disk size and frag percentage.

Method Two: Command Prompt.

The second method is defragmenting the hard disk with the Command Prompt.

I have finally managed to solve this issue myself, so hopefully, it will help others with similar issues.If your VAIO function keys or settings in VAIO Control Center are not working as they should if you open up the Services via Computer Management and look for a Service called 'VAIO Event Service'.Make sure it is set to 'Automatic' and that it is 'Started'.On mine, it was disabled and stopped and as soon as I started it, the function keys and keyboard backlight settings started to work again. /sony-vaio-backlit-keyboard-drivers-for-mac.html.

Launch the Command Prompt as Administrator.

Then, type in the command defrag and specify the letter of the drive to be optimized (for example, D).

defrag D: /U/internet-explorer-10-free-download-for-mac-os.html.

Type proper settings for optimization (defragmentation) and press Enter. After that, the defrag process will start. You can learn more about the settings for the defrag command at the end of this article.

After the defragmentation is over, you will see a report saying that the operation has been successful and giving us general data on the volume you have optimized: the volume size, free space left, total amount of fragmented space and the maximal amount of free space available. The fragmentation statistics does not include file fragments larger than 64 Mb.

Settings for the Defrag Command

/A – Analyzing specified volumes.
/C – Performing an operation for all volumes.
/D – Standard defragmentation (by default).
/E – Performing an operation for all volumes, except for the specified ones.
/H – Running the operation at standard priority (by default, it is low-priority).
/K – Optimizing memory in selected volumes.
/L – Repeating optimization for selected volumes.
/M – Running the operation simultaneously on every volume in background mode.
/O – Optimization using a suitable method for every media type.
/T – Monitoring the operation which is already being performed on the specified volume.
/U – Displaying the operation progress on the screen.
/V – Displaying detailed fragmentation statistics.
/X – Uniting free space in the specified volumes.

'I have been using Iobit products for a good many years now. Because I am running an older machine with 6 drives, including 2 external, I find that Iobit's 'Smart Defrag 5 Pro' has served me very well. Being an older machine, my computer system tends to become fragmented quite easily. Having My 'Smart Defrag 5 Pro' set to auto defrag, and running a 'Defrag and Optimize' once a week, keeps my system running smooth and well. Iobit is constantly upgrading and striving to make the product even better as time goes by. I am well pleased with this product.'

'I run a combination of RAID 0 SSDs and RAID 0 HDDs and use Smart Defrag Pro to analyse, defrag and keep my drives running at peak performance. As with all IObit software it is easy to install, use and very reliable. Just set it up and forget it. Smart Defrag has a very small memory foot print so it won't slow down your system. Definitely recommended!'

'I use Smart Defrag since its creation on several PCs and from the beginning with the members of my computer club we were able to see the continuous improvements. It was perfect for them, except the English language. So I invested for IObit in the French translation. From now on, the French IT magazines strongly recommend Smart Defrag, including with Windows 10 Optimiser, for a more robust and accurate diagnosis with options to speed up the system startup.'
