[Boot time defrag takes up space?]

Just guessing, but I remember once that a boot time defrag concacetated my pagefile from two 'blocks' into one contiguous block, to do this it needed to allocate an extra cluster to the pagefile reserved discspace.

 

No more actual data, just the pagefile reserving a bit more disc space for itself.

 

How do I reduce or remove this?

 

- It could be caused by something else. e.g.:

1) Windows making a new system restore point.

2) Windows increasing the size of the pagefile. Or any of the

3) Any other piece of software updating itself.

4) ..........................

5) Or a combination of the above.

 

I turned off system restore, and checked to make sure it didn't create a restore point. System was fully updated when I ran boot time defrag, so I don't think it's going to eat up 6GB for updates. Have you tried boot time defrag?

After using boot time defrag, my free space went down from 975GB to 969GB?
