Guess I didn't describe that properly Was using 2.10.xx for quite some time, then updated to 2.13.xx a few weeks ago Discovered the problem only recently, so updated to 2.14.xx but still no improvement Then downgraded to 2.12.xx and ended up with another problem instead Finally downgraded to the original 2.10.xx and things seem to settle down a bit

@Alan_B Previous versions don't seem to have a problem, that's why I'm downgrading to the version (2.10.xx) which I've been using for some time. It's just that newer versions are showing different kinds of problem. Maybe the newer version has a new strategy on recognizing and scanning all connected drives? That I don't know. Sometimes clean Win reinstalls may solve things but that's something I cannot handle. Took me years to maintain the system to what it is today, so reinstallation is a no-no. But I'm sure my Win is in stable condition since I make regular Ghost backups and I only do so when the system is clean. Had it not been the hanging Drive Map screen of C: during startup I would've stuck to v2.13 for quite a while, since I don't update Defraggler often.

Spam or no spam it's not my concern. But NO, Auslogics is not quite an alternative for me. In fact, have used its Registry Defrag before and while it seems to do its work, it actually prompts me to buy another software!! Jeez, but I can't seem to trust its freeware anymore... Back to Defraggler. My C: drive has no problem and in fact it's new -- the old one broke down and I've had it replaced along with two others (D: and E: for data storage). It's just that the startup behavior among the said versions are so different and I can't seem to figure out why. I know other paid 3rd party alternatives exist, but I'll need to research more on that regarding each one's capabilities first. Will stick to the older v2.10.424 for now... at least not until another v2.15.xx comes out......

Been there, done that... NO use at all Have reinstalled previous version (2.12), and while the problem seems to be solved, upon startup the whole interface goes blank for 10-15 seconds (yeah nothing shows up) before the program starts scanning for all available drives... then for C: drive, have to wait another 10 seconds or so before the HDD's health (SMART) status shows up Have reinstalled an even older version (2.10.xx) and while everything seems to be OK, starting up the program takes 9-12 seconds before the actual interface shows up and starts scanning for all drives Version 2.13 seems to be OK in general. Program interface starts up fast and scans for all drives almost immediately, with the exception that for C: drive the Drive Map does not refresh itself and hangs on to "No Data" until after selecting other drives or clicking function tabs below Now I'm not sure when I'll be comfortable to update to a newer version... maybe not until version 2.15 comes out

Have been using Defraggler without much problem, but lately when the program is started, the Drive Map for C: does not show up automatically and "No Data" is shown, until after pressing any tab below (File list, Search, Drive Map, Health). Clicking other drives does not show the same problem. Currently using version 2.13.670. (Previous versions didn't have the problem until after program update.) Updating to a new version seems to make things worse. Downgrading to an older version ends up with other problem, eg. blank screen at startup with no drives visible at all. Screencap and debug file attached. Can someone help me? And, will uninstalling and reinstalling the program help at all? Defraggler.exe.2_13_6702013-04-30_12-45.txt
