Disk Defragmenter is the defrag program that already exists in Windows, which means you don't need to download anything to use it. You can set schedules and defragment both internal and external hard drives.
Many of the other defrag programs from this list have many advantages over Disk Defragmenter, such as boot time defrags and optimization features. If using this program, I suggest you couple it with the SpeeDefrag program from above. While it's quick and super easy to use, it doesn't provide any custom or advanced features like scheduling or boot time defrags. After analyzing one or more drives, you can select all of them at once so it will defragment the first one, then the second, and so on.
Wise Care is a collection of system utilities that scans for privacy issues and junk files. One of the tools, in the System Tuneup tab, is used for defragmenting a hard drive. Select the drive to defragment and then choose Defragment, Full Optimization or Analyze. 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.
