yaseen157 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hello!I have an issue with defraggler, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. I have run multiple sessions of defraggler and find that the completion counter never reaches 2%, and the "remaining time" never finishes calculating.I have already been to Settings > Options > Advanced, stopped VSS and went into custom fragmentation settings and made sure both boxes were checked. First Analysis said my HDD was 19% fragmented with 9000 files (My hard drive was only 50% full, 500GB out of 1TB)After half an hour, the fragmented file count was dropping and the process was at 1%, still no calculated remaining time. I check back a few hours later, and fragmented files is back at 9000! I then run assortments of Windows defrags, Quick defraggler defrags, and got it to just 16% fragmentation.In the first few minutes, fragmented file count dropped from 1400 to 1275. A few minutes later, and it's increasing again. Is this supposed to happen? And I'm positive this isn't supposed to take as long as 10+ hours for 1%. Help is appreciated.

yaseen157 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 I did some digging and found this thing called MSI interrupts (I disabled it earlier in a different project.) Will report back later with updates from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaseen157 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 I think I've fixed it (not related to my last reply), how do I close a topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted April 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 4, 2016 can't close a topic. it's good to leave it as it may help others. good to hear you got it sorted. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

yaseen157 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Basically, if anyone else had the same problem, it's because there are too many files to defrag (I had 90+GB). I started seeing some actual numbers when I brought that number down to 20GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
