"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Piriform&amp;amp;#39;s Defraggler tool is easily the best free defrag software program out there. It can defrag the data or just the free space of an internal or external drive. You also have the option of defragmenting specific files or folders and nothing more.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Defraggler can run a boot time defrag, check a drive for errors, empty the Recycle Bin before defragging, exclude certain files from a defrag, run an idle defrag, and selectively move lesser-used files to the end of the drive to speed up disk access.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Defraggler is also available in a portable version for &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-flash-drive-2625794&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;flash drives&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/defraggler-review-2619158&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Defraggler Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If the Piriform company sounds familiar, you may already be familiar with their very popular free &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/ccleaner-review-2625143&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;CCleaner&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; (system cleaning) or &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/recuva-review-2622892&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Recuva&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; (data recovery) software.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Defraggler can be installed on Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP, as well as Windows Server 2008 and 2003.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Smart Defrag is great when it comes to scheduling an automatic defrag, as there are some very specific advanced settings.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;It supports running a defrag on a schedule as well as using boot time defrags to remove fragments from locked files.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Smart Defrag can also exclude files and folders from a defrag/analysis, replace Windows Disk Defragmenter, defrag just Windows Metro Apps, and skip defragging files that are over a certain file size.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/smart-defrag-review-2619163&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Smart Defrag Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Also included in Smart Defrag is a feature which removes junk files in Windows and Internet Explorer. It also clears cache files in other parts of Windows that could help speed up a defrag.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP users are able to install and use Smart Defrag.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Auslogics Disk Defrag comes as a regular, installable program but can also be used in a portable mode for use on removable media.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;_qMmPUYGHotc7F2l8Ag-gg&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-system-file-2626015&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;System files&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, which are normally commonly used files, can be configured to be moved to faster areas of a disk to improve launch times and general system performance.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Like the programs from above, Auslogics Disk Defrag is able to run boot time defrags as well.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/auslogics-disk-defrag-review-2619157&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Auslogics Disk Defrag Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can also check a drive for errors with\u00A0&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/chkdsk-command-2625838&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;chkdsk&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, optimize a hard drive, exclude files/folders from a defrag, run idle scans, and delete temporary system files before defragmenting.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Auslogics Disk Defrag works with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Puran Defrag features a custom optimizer called Puran Intelligent Optimizer (PIOZR) to intelligently move common files to the outer edge of a disk to speed up access to those files.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Like some of the other programs from this list, Puran Defrag can defrag files and folders from the Windows Explorer right-click context menu, delete custom files/folders before a defrag is launched, and run boot time defrags.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;There are very specific scheduling options available in Puran Defrag like running an automatic defrag every so many hours, when the system goes idle, or when the screensaver starts.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Particular schedules can also be setup for boot time defrags like running it on the first computer boot up of the day, one the first of the week, or the first time your computer boots up every month.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/puran-defrag-review-2619162&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Puran Defrag Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;One thing I don&amp;amp;#39;t like about Puran Defrag is that it tries to install additional programs during setup.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Puran Defrag is said to be compatible with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, and Windows Server 2003.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Disk Speedup is another free defrag program that can defrag not only whole hard drives but also individual files and folders. You can also run an automatic defrag when the system has been idle for a particular number of minutes.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Disk Speedup has very specific settings. For example, you can disable defrags if files have fragments that are smaller than 10 MB, have more than 3 fragments, and are larger than 150 MB. All of these values can be customized.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can also configure Disk Speedup to automatically move large, unused, and/or files of a certain format to the end of the drive so the commonly used, smaller ones end up toward the &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;beginning&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;, hopefully improving access times.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In addition to the above, Disk Speedup can exclude files and folders from a whole system defrag, run a boot time defrag, turn off the computer when a defrag has completed, and run defrags/optimizations on one or more drives on a daily/weekly/monthly schedule.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/disk-speedup-review-2619159&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Disk Speedup Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Note:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; Disk Speedup may try to install other Glarysoft programs during setup, but you can easily uncheck anything you don&amp;amp;#39;t want.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can install Disk Speedup in Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP and Windows Server 2003. I tested Disk Speedup in Windows 10 too, and it worked as advertised.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Toolwiz Smart Defrag is a small program that installs quickly and has a really clean, minimal interface. It claims to be 10 times quicker than the default defrag tool included in Windows and can place archive files to a different part of the drive to speed up access to regular files.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You&amp;amp;#39;re able to see the number of fragmented files from an analysis and run a defrag really quickly, though you can&amp;amp;#39;t see the level of fragmentation that exists on a drive, nor can you schedule defragments to run at a later date.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Though it&amp;amp;#39;s nice to have a program that isn&amp;amp;#39;t packed full of buttons and other toolbars, it&amp;amp;#39;s also sometimes unfortunate. For instance, there are &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;zero &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;features that you can customize in Toolwiz Smart Defrag.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/toolwiz-smart-defrag-review-2619165&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Toolwiz Smart Defrag Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If you&amp;amp;#39;re looking for a program that&amp;amp;#39;s super simple to use and isn&amp;amp;#39;t bogged down with confusing settings or buttons, this program is absolutely perfect.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Toolwiz Smart Defrag works in Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP.\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;WinUtilities is a system optimizer program for Windows that includes a defragmenting program called DiskDefrag that&amp;amp;#39;s easy to use and quite customizable.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Common features are included such as multiple scheduled defrags, idle defrags, and advanced scheduling settings and power management options.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In the settings, there are over 10 different actions the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Defrag&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; button can perform, such as analyze only or analyze and move to end of disk. There are more custom options such as controlling how fast the defragmenting process can run and what files/folders should be excluded from a defrag.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Another option lets you list custom files you wish to be moved to the &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;SpaceHogs&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; area of the hard drive, which is an area WinUtilities Disk Defrag uses to hold large and unused files. The purpose is to move these files to the slower portions of a hard drive to effectively move &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;commonly&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; used files and &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;smaller&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; files to the faster parts of the disk to increase performance.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can also have the computer turn off automatically when defragmenting is complete.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/winutilities-diskdefrag-review-2619167&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;WinUtilities DiskDefrag Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;DiskDefrag can be found in WinUtilities by navigating to &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Modules &amp;amp;gt; Optimize &amp;amp;amp; Improve &amp;amp;gt; Disk Defrag&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Users of Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP can install WinUtilities.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;O&amp;amp;amp;O Defrag Free Edition has an organized and easy to use interface. It supports common features found in similar defrag software, like optimizing a drive, viewing a list of all the fragmented files, and checking a drive for errors.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In addition to scheduling defrags on a weekly basis, you can also configure O&amp;amp;amp;O Defrag Free Edition to start a defrag automatically when the screensaver comes on.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can optionally run through a &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Quick configuration&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; wizard to easily setup scheduling or immediately optimize a drive.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/o-o-defrag-free-edition-review-2619161&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;O&amp;amp;amp;O Defrag Free Edition Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Some features are only available in the paid version of O&amp;amp;amp;O Defrag, which means you&amp;amp;#39;ll sometimes try to enable a setting only to be told you can&amp;amp;#39;t because you&amp;amp;#39;re using the free version, which can get irritating.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;O&amp;amp;amp;O Defrag Free Edition is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, and XP. I tested the most recent version in both Windows 10 and Windows 8, but wasn&amp;amp;#39;t able to get it up and running.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;UltraDefrag can be used for novice and advanced users alike, as there are common features that everyone can use but also advanced options if you need to make specific changes to the program.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Common functions like repairing, defragging, and optimizing drives are as simple as any of these other programs. However, if you wish to make &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;changes &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;to the program in general or to the boot time defrag option, you must know how to maneuver around a &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/bat-file-2619796&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;BAT file&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/ultradefrag-review-2619166&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;UltraDefrag Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Note:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; There&amp;amp;#39;s an installable &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;and&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; portable download of UltraDefrag for both &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/32-bit-64-bit-2624554&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;32-bit and 64-bit&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; versions of Windows on the download page.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;UltraDefrag is said to run in Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP only, but I was also able to use it in Windows 10.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;MyDefrag (formerly JkDefrag)\u00A0can be both a simple and a rather complex defrag program depending on your needs.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;It works be loading and running scripts on one or more drives. Several scripts are included when you first install it, like to defrag on a schedule, analyze a drive, and consolidate free space. The default install is just fine for regular users.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;More advanced users can build their own custom scripts, which can actually be very detailed to deeply customize the way MyDefrag works. Information about creating scripts can be found in the online manual.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/mydefrag-review-2619160&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;MyDefrag Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;MyDefrag hasn&amp;amp;#39;t been updated since May of 2010, so it only officially supports Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Windows Server 2008 and Server 2003. However, it still works with the newer versions of Windows like Windows 10 and Windows 8.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ashampoo WinOptimizer Free is a program suite of mini programs called modules, one of which is for defragmenting hard drives.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can setup a defrag to take place on one or more &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-hard-disk-drive-2618152&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;hard drives&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; when the computer isn&amp;amp;#39;t in use (idle) and even define the percentage of &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-cpu-2618150&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;CPU&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; usage that must be unused before starting.

Instead, it shuts down everything you&amp;amp;#39;re using except for the built-in defragmenting program provided by Windows (listed below).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The purpose of SpeeDefrag is to speed up the regular defrag functions of Windows Disk Defragmenter. By shutting down unnecessary programs, it can utilized more &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;JXqUKEl71HQIoLFDcORoUg&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-system-resource-2626016&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;system resources&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; to make the defrag tool run quicker.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;After installing SpeeDefrag, you&amp;amp;#39;re given a few options for how you want the task to run. For instance, you can choose to restart and run a defrag and then restart again automatically, or just to run a defrag and then shutdown the computer.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/speedefrag-review-2619164&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SpeeDefrag Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Note:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; Some features are only available in operating systems prior to Windows 7, such as restarting before a defrag and shutting down open programs. This means SpeeDefrag is really only useful for Windows Vista and Windows XP.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Disk Defragmenter is the defrag program that already exists in Windows, which means you don&amp;amp;#39;t need to download anything to use it. You can set schedules and defragment both internal and external hard drives.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Many of the other defrag programs from this list have many advantages over Disk Defragmenter, such as boot time defrags and optimization features. If using this program, I suggest you couple it with the SpeeDefrag program from above.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In Windows 10 and 8, Disk Defragmenter can be opened from &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/administrative-tools-2625804&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Administrative Tools&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; in the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/control-panel-2625841&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Control Panel&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.

While it&amp;amp;#39;s quick and super easy to use it doesn&amp;amp;#39;t provide any custom or advanced features like scheduling or boot time defrags.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;After analyzing one or more drives, you can select all of them at once so it will defragment the first one, then the second, and so on.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.pcfaster.com/&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Download Baidu PC Faster&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Open the defrag program from &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Toolbox &amp;amp;gt; Disk Defrag&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Baidu PC Faster works with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Wise Care 365 is a collection of system utilities that scans for privacy issues and junk files. One of the tools, in the &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;System Tuneup&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; tab, is used for defragmenting a hard drive.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Select the drive to defragment and then choose &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Defragment, Full Optimization&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; or &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Analyze&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;. You can optionally shutdown the computer after the defrag has finished. Scheduling defrags with Wise Care 365 is not supported.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A portable version is available from within the program (this is explained in the review).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.lifewire.com/wise-care-365-review-2625184&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Wise Care 365 Review &amp;amp;amp; Free Download&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Something I don&amp;amp;#39;t like is that a small advertisement about the full version of the program is always displayed in Wise Care 365. Also, some of the features and options are only available in the professional version.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Wise Care 365 can be installed to 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10 through Windows XP.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
