How to fix the Defrag not starting problem
The defragmentation utility can be either manual or automatic and is tied to the Windows registry. If the latter component is damaged, then the hopes of starting the Defrag are almost nil. To solve the problem of the Defrag not starting with Windows, when it is included in the scheduled operations of the system, it is necessary to go to the Control Panel and enter the menu System and security. Then go in Planning tools and then Scheduler.
Expand the folder in the list on the left and follow the path Microsoft > Windows >Defrag. Under the column Your name the wording should be shown ScheduledDefrag and State the function Pronto.
By doing this you will be able to see the last time the defragmentation was performed. If you don't see any information, click on ScheduledDefrag and move to Activation indicating the time specifications.
If that still doesn't work, just start Run with WINDOWS + R, digita services.msc I awarded Submit.
