If so, then try launching the defrag command through Windows instead and see if that changes things. Does this mean you are performing the task through the CMD interface, i.e., through DOS commands? You mention above that your defrag prompt is no longer appearing. This meant it was not necessary to run the command manually anymore, though those who preferred to do so could still launch the feature if needed through the operating system or DOS. With Windows 8 and 10, the defrag command became an automatic background process that Windows performed weekly. Typically, one launched the process every few months as part of a system maintenance routine, if you will. It was performed either through the defrag command within Windows itself or through a third-party program. The process itself is a step one takes to optimize system performance and in older versions of Windows. defragging, involves the consolidation of data and the removal of data fragments found within the hard drive and RAM via a system scan. Do you have any ideas how I can try to reinstall the defrag feature?Ī: Disk defragmentation, a.k.a. I also tried going to the C drive to activate it but was told the system could not find the file. I tried running it as an administrator, but it still would not run.

Q: I have a Windows 10 computer, and the defragmenter command has stopped working on it.
