    scheduled Disk defrag does not run


    Dear forum members, my scheduled Disk defrag does not run in Win7 home 64 bit. I have made sure that all appropriate areas are ticked. Also in Services.msc the defragmenter is set to automatic and I have started the service. No Go. I have tried setting daily 5pm no go, 6pm and watched, no go. I have ticked only C: no go. Nothing so far has corrected the problem. The program that was always on was Zone Alarm Pro. That should not matter as web access is not necessary. Does anyone have any ideas? A web search turned up other people with the same unsolved problem. Regards Peter

    What if you manually run an analyze? Or manually kick off a defrg? Will it run automatically after that?

    defrag


    Hi Desslok, that did not work either. I have since declared defeat and got another defragger. Smart Defrag. Too bad it would be nice to be able to fix the problem. Regards Peter

Shutdown while scheduled defrag running
in Performance & Maintenance

What would happen if you normally (not forcefully) shutdown when scheduled defrag is running? Is it okay since it knows it is shutting down? Also, how come processes such as the one for Windows Update after boot up after an update and background defrag process stay even after they are done doing...
