Windows Defrag running in idle?

because it doesn´t work!
without alter the defragmentation setting the task was never running!

I think somethin on my system prevents this task?

regards
Ingo

nothing happened and nothing written in the history

i have triggered it for whent it is one minute idle! wating for on imidiatly.

i think that should be enough!
i have tried auslogics defrag meanwhile! when i set this defrag to run in idle in 1 minute, it works!

but auslogics defrag did not use the prefetch and superfetch features

is an entry from the moment i have startet it manual.

regards
Ingo

VMware files, which are quite large for a guest system are left as they are by defragging, so they tend to cause fragmentation. Try moving the installation and OS files to another drive, or create a smallish partition to keep it on.
Then defrag and you'll see the difference.

my vms are on another harddisk! connected with esata...

Did you ever try to run it manually/immediate as Kaktussoft asked in Post #4?

Start the scheduled task (right click on it and click Run). Now open defrag GUI and see if it's running. Is it? In task scheduler you can also seen "next time" it runs, and if last time was succesfully.

What happened? Any Error messages? Anything in History? Any Event errors?

yes!
it works manually
