necros Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Maybe make some notes before installing? Cause common users will not know that built-in should be disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdgboxx Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 optimal?, Yes, why would you want 2 defraggers running on the same drive? As a "not at all, computer savvy", I'm always afraid of getting in some sort of trouble. I've been using the free CCleaner version for years, and I was using the Windows <scheduled> Defragmenter. Now that I've bought the CCleaner Pro Plus, (comes with all the trimmings ) I transferred the Windows Defragmenter to my Documents, and disabled the <schedule>. Should I not renew my Licensed Subscription, next year, for whatever reason, I can always reactivate Defragmenter. But yes, I have only one Defraggler running...CCleaner.

Cause common users will not know that built-in should be disabled. it's not so much that it should be disabled, there just wouldn't be any point in having the Windows defragger run on a schedule if you are going to use DF. I thought at one point in the past DF used to turn off the Windows scheduled defrag process but I'm not sure now since getting a SSD a few years back.

Moderators mta Posted April 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm not sure what you are chasing? Do you want to know if Windows Defragmenter does or should get disabled automatically when Defraggler is installed?

Moderators Andavari Posted April 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2017 If you're using Defraggler only and not using Windows to optimise your disk at all then disabling the one built into Windows will allow Defraggler to operate without having to constantly undo what Windows does. Actually it's like that with any defrag software they often do not complement each other at all and will only undo what each other have did since they each have their own algorithms.

Moderators mta Posted April 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2017 just don't use Windows defrag, and turn it's default schedule of weekly.
