Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks

Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks. Have a disk busy on the farm that is used for the storage of video surveillance. When I realize the performance issues, I check and find tht 'daily' Setup for MS disk defragmentation is not in fact run every day. I am watching silent movies and waiting for a 500 GB drive to effectively defragment, pass it is on average 1 percent per minute (with any other IO goes on the disc and app collection closed).

There must be (I hope) a flag I can put to Disk Defragmenter to be more aggressive in its analysis.

It is Windows 7 64 bit running on AMD processors, disks are sATA plugged in, although there is also a matrix RAID PCI Promise, it's usually when I started Hello I/O on the Board of 2 TB or utilization of the 'C', I realize the lack of defragmentation. I recall, before the SP1 under WIN 7, he ran on a daily basis, in fact, rather than an API algorith "guess".

System is in place 24 x 7 (I turn off the monitor at the time of sunset), there is no "powersaver" feature used on this particular device. I edited my original question because after many years of support, I realized, by asking the initial question, that I was not providing information that I would be asked a customer, if I was still doing this job.

Kind regards

Hello Lorin,

There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

Method 1: He is also a malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

 

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

Method 2: The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

Delete files using disk cleanup

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

Method 3: The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

a. open "Computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.

b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.

c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.

d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

Check your hard drive for errors

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

 

Important: While running chkdsk (check disk) hard disk, if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk attempts to repair this sector, the data available in this area may be lost, and it is not recoverable.

(This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

Method 4: Disk Defragmenter may be corrupted, requiring a system restore to fix.

System restore

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

 

NOTE: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

Method 5: There are other programs that are running this interruption, the built-in Defragmenter. Solution:

a. close all running programs.

b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.

c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and

d. Select "start Task Manager".

e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

Hope this information helps. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

  • Windows 7 Disk Defragmenter does not work

    All of a sudden, I get the following error message when you try to run Defrag

    "Disk Defragmenter cannot start the Task Scheduler service is not running. Start the Task Scheduler service and try again.',

    that does not work.

    Assuming that task scheduler was enabled and the Defragmenter tool still does not work, here is a routine that I have compiled over time which proved to be effective to solve the problems of Defragmenter:

    There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

    0. it is malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

    1. the disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

    2. the disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

    a. open "My computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.
    b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.
    c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.
    d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

    (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

    3. Disk Defragmenter can be altered, needing a system restore to fix it. Solution:

    a. start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click here to open);
    b. Select a good restore point before you start having problems with Disk Defragmenter.
    c. start the restore process and let an end (descriptive name of something restore operation as "Repair Defrag").

    4. There are other programs that run the Defragmenter interruption integrated. Solution:
    a. close all running programs.
    b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.
    c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and
    d. Select "start Task Manager".
    e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

    5. If still no luck, try disabling the screen saver when you run Disk Defrag (you should very well leave the system only when running the built-in defragmentation utility).

    6. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with her and stalking interference may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Windows 7 disables the ability to run the Defragmenter built-in in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

    7 Disk Defragmenter may no longer be on the system or is damaged while it needs a re - install. Solution: Reinstall the built-in function.

    There are several ways to re - install the built-in Defragmenter:

    A:
    a. open the menu 'start '.
    b. type '% Windir%\Inf' in the 'Search' box and press 'Enter '.
    c. in the window that opens, find the file named "dfrg.inf.
    d. right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "install".

    B:
    a. go into "start > run" on your computer.
    b. Type "rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132% windir%\inf\dfrg.inf" and press "Enter."
    3. click 'OK' to make the program automatically reinstall itself.

    C:
    a. go to start > all programs > Accessories > right click on command prompt > select 'run as administrator '.
    b. at the command prompt, type "regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll" and press "enter."
    c. type 'regsvr32 dfrgui.dll' and press 'Enter '. This will reinstall the missing Defragmenter files.

    8. most of the problems will be solved by #6 above, but if not, and if your windows installation is otherwise working well, you should consider to download a free trial of a Defrag tool commercial rather than drastic measures to restore the functionality built-s. Third-party programs are more robust and many work in the background, so you can use your PC during defragmentation.

    Most third party programs offer a free, fully functional trial (better ones are for 30 days). Install one of them allows you to disable built-in and if you decide to uninstall, removal will replace the built-in function, repaired several times in the process: it's worth a try...

    Place it at the top of the page is the only defrag program that also prevents the fragmentation (see comment).

    Why is it good to prevent fragmentation?

    Basically, it significantly increases life expectancy of your hard drive (especially since you don't have to leave the system on all night - a much 'greener' agricultural practice), not to mention it also increases the performance of the system.

    Good luck to you!

  • Daily schedule scans for Windows Defender.

    I planned my Windows Defender ACCT to do daily, a full scan, at 05:00.  However, I just got a notice that a comprehensive analysis was made for the last 5 days!  Why is this happening?  Thank you.

    Hi Harland,
     
    As you plan the scan at 5:00 every day, the system must be switched on at the scheduled time and allow the analysis to be performed. If the system is turned OFF or the system is shut down during the analysis, we encounter this problem. However, there is a setting that can be applied to the analysis starts automatically when the system boots.
     
    To activate this setting, try the following steps.
    1. Click Start, type taskschd.msc and press to enter.
    2. click on continue in the UAC prompt.
    3. in the right pane, click view, and click Show hidden tasks to check it out. (See screenshot below step 7)
    4. in the left pane, click the arrow on the Task Scheduler Library folder and the folder of Microsoft to develop.
    5. click on the folder of Windows Defender.
    6. in the middle pane, right-click on the MP scheduled Scan list and click Properties.
    7. click on the settings tab.
    8. check the 'run task as soon as possible after a regular departure is missed box."
    NOTE: This will allow Windows Defender perform the scheduled scan the next time you have the computer if the scan is not respected because she is not able to run at the scheduled time.
    9. click on the OK button.
    10. Close Task Scheduler window.

  • For windows XP Disk Defragmenter it please help...

    How can I get my Defragmenter to work after receiving the error message: (c) defragmentation was interrupted because of contradictions that were detected in the file system. Please run CHKDSK or SCANDISK on (c) to repair these inconsistencies, then run Disk Defragmenter. I ran CHKDSK and SCANDISK but I still get the message.

    Have you run "chkdsk" with the /F or/r option?
    If not, start-> Run-> "cmd".
    Then, enter the command:
    CHKDSK c: /R
    It will then complain that it cannot check the drive as it is in use and offers to do the next time.  Answer 'Y' to this request, then restart.  The chkdsk operation will take more than two hours to complete.

    I think to buy the lenovo 14 y700, but I was wondering if the problems with the black screen and not start among others was fixed. I want to buy that has the AMD Radeon graphics m275 r9. If this is not the case, how can I fix them (because I will probably buy again, even if it needs work).

    Mod edit: System model added to the front of the subject line to improve visibility / clarity.

    I have the same laptop and did not face these questions.

    I tested some games and both played well - last light Metro and Tomb Raider. These aren't the latest games but the metro is very demanding.

  • Windows 7 disk expansion problem

    I increased my VM size from 100 to 200 GB (on a terabyte) using the settings side MAC VMWare...

    In the computer management console Windows 7 (see table), I can watch the disc resulting and my C: drive was still only 100 GB.  However, at the bottom of the disk management screen, I show a 0 with 200 GB drive.  The bar of disk 0 is contiguous, as far as I can see.  I right click on the C: drive in the top of the screen and see 'Extend the Volume', but this choice is grayed out.

    I closed down VMWare completely a couple of times and delivered to market with no luck.

    How to get Windows 7 to recognize that additional 100 GB?

    Best

    Harry

    OK, problem solved!

    First of all, I upgraded from 6.0 to 8.0 VMFusion.  I increased the size of the virtual disk by 1 GB - just enough to trigger a repeat of the virtual disk increase routine. Before the upgrade, I could not successfully increase the size of the disk - it would fail at the end of the (long) process.

    I restarted WIN 7 under VMFusion 8.0 and went to the computer management | Disk management.  Now I could right-click on my C:\ drive and the menu option "Extend drive" was available.  Before the upgrade, this option has been grayed out.

    After that, it appeared that nothing happened, BUT if you go to the right of the disk management INTERFACE, you will see 'Other Options'.  You will find 'Refresh '. Finally, it showed my disc finally expanded from 100 GB GB 261.

    Thank you to all the Chorus for help - it is much appreciated!

  • Windows 7 Disk Defragmenter stops at 51%

    whenever I try to run disk defrag it just goes right to 51% and stops

    Hi Amandalsmlns,

    1. did you of recent changes on the system?

    2. you receive messages or error codes?

    You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

    For more information, you can check the link:

    Check a drive for errors

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Windows 7 disk management utility does not allow for creating simple volume: maximum number of partitions exceeded error

    I am trying to create a new partition in Win7 using the disk management utility. Shrank lecteurC existing to create unallocated space. Am not able to create a simple volume with this space unallocated due to the following error message.

    "You cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains the maximum number of partitions".

    How to fix this or go around with another method to create partitions?

    Hello

    You will need to convert the dynamic disk before creating the extra partition. To do this in disk management:

    -Right-click the disk 0 (gray area) which indicates the total size of your hard drive

    -Select 'convert to dynamic disk.

    Once you have converted to dynamic disk, you will be able to go and create the new simple partition.
