In the digital age, where data drives function as the beating heart of our computers, ensuring their peak performance is paramount. For Windows 10 and Windows 11 users, optimizing and defragmenting these drives is a crucial task that many may overlook. This guide will walk you through the...

Since upgrading to Windows 10 2004, I have encountered an issue with the tool Defragment & Optimize Drives. I am able to run the tool and it appears to run the optimization command properly but upon reboot it returns to the above "Never run" and "Needs optimization" Any suggestions on how to fix?

Suddenly the transfer rate dropped to 200-300 kb/s. I have no idea why . Any help is appreciated. Thank you! I uploaded all the relevant screenshots, here is a summary: My system is : Intel Core i7 4771 @ 3.50GHz Link Removed Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. I have this PC with Win10 installed on the...

Hello All, I was advised earlier that I may have to format my hard drive and I may just do that. In January, I made the mistake of letting a scammer control my computer and I think he may have installed something to mess up my maintenance programs. The longest running program is...

If I run chkdsk on a defragmented hard disk partition: Is this faster than on an undefragmented partition? Peter

Can anyone explain how this disk is only 1% fragmented? Just look at all that red. It doesn't add up.

In Windows 7, how can I open and delete from my trash, to free drive space? Will I need to defragment?

I am sick of defragmenting really. My largest free space extent is 234.4GB. Why cant Microsoft just improve NTFS to stop fragmentation instead of relying on defragmentation? look at HFS+ and ext4 they prevent fragmentation first!

My NTFS non-system partition is now almost well defragmented. However this applies only to small and medium sized files. There are still approx 40 big files (> 1 GB) which cannot be defragmented because there is no free single (!) space slot where they fit in. So I need a way to shift all...

Hey everyone, I use Windows mainly as gaming machine. Therefore, my deep technical knowledge is mostly hypothetical and most often imaginary. Yet I am looking for something that may turn out as extremly complicated to handle, but maybe it'll work. So, what I do want, I want to group my two hard...

Hi I thought that some people might be interested in this. Yesterday I upgraded my Paragon backup software to the 2014 edition. I was surprised to see that there is quite a change from the one I used previously. Instead of asking you to choose a location the save a backup file to (you can...
