donanderson Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Whenever I do a fresh install of any version of Windows, the first thing I do is disable the automatic defragger. I find that all my systems run like crap if I let windows defrag too soon after its initial installation. I will wait a minimum of 3-5 months before I will do its first defrag and only then if it's running sluggish. So I installed this version about six months ago to my main rig and I have never run a defrag on it and I have ensured that the auto defragger is off but when I checked the other day it says that windows ran a defrag on my C drive a month ago. Is this normal for windows to run a defrag whether you want it to or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 yes unless you do the command promt disable...even that I think it still works... I have never had any issues with the built in defragger in win7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jump4h Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 It doesn't defrag SSD's but all HDD'sa are automatically defragged. Defragging SHOULD help performance so I think you have another problem with your hdd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donanderson Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Well that makes a little more sense then. I really wish it wouldn't do that but it seems to have caused no harm. I'll try the command prompt disable and see if that works. Thanks for the replies though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
