• Where Do I Find Defrag On Windows 8

HiI recently updated my Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and after that when I went to defragment the drive the Disk did not defragment properly. The Defragmenter runs and optimizes the C drive just fine but not the D and System Reserved. After optimization the status is as follows:C: OK (0% fragmented)D: OK (2: fragmented) - DOES NOT SHOW 0% LIKE IT USED TO BEFORESystem Reserved: Needs optimization (18% fragmented) - REMAINS THE SAMEThe D drive only has 700MB free and the whole partition is 95GB could that interfere with the defrag. And what about the system reserved I want it at 0 too.How can I defrag D and C to 0%message edited by SarahRamirez. Why are you concerned about this?The purpose of defragmentation is so that when you are using the system it can quickly locate information which will be in continuous blocks. There can be a performance benefit.Drives that are system reserved are rarely (if ever) used so do not need defragmenting.

It is safer to leave them totally alone.Similarly if your D drive is a data disk it is simply for storage and not used for running programs. You will never notice any difference if this is defragmented as it is only used to store and access your own data. Forcing defrag for that drive is pointless and best avoided.If you can defrag the C drive that is all you need to do. Even that, with modern drives makes little difference unless it is heavily defragmented - seems, at present, it is not defragmented at all.Have you got the latest update which was made for Windows 8.1 (via Windows Update)?Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanksmessage edited by Derek.
