Boot Time Defrag not working

[Goldfinger]

I have had Smart Defrag 2 installed for about a week. Since that time as far as I can tell Boot Time is not working. There has been nothing show up in the History. My computer has been turned on probly 7 or 8 times since I installed & I have Smart Defrag to Every 2 Day First Boot. The stats section is also completely blank.

 

Any ideas why it is not working?

I'm wondering if some other system monitoring software program is Deleting the SD History data?

Are you also running other utilities, such as IObit's ASC-4?

[Goldfinger]

Yes, using ASC-4, but it is not running all the time. I only start it manually when I want to do something with it.

 

Any other ideas??

Hi Goldfinger,

 

Please try using "Only next boot" option in Boot Time Defrag, click on No on the main GUI to activate the boot time defrag with changing to Yes, and restart the PC to see if it is working when booting.

 

Cheers.

Yes, that works. It only ran about 30 seconds then went on. The stats section on the GUI now shows today & the history shows today & 3 defraged. I'll reset it to every 2 days & back on & see what happens on Tues morning.

 

I did notice that when set for Only Next Boot, that there was an entry in the 'Scheduled Tasks' for SD. Now there isn't, even with it set for Every 2 Days & turned on. Should there be??

My understanding is that it should be there, but even turning ON Boot Time Defrag for "Only next boot", my task scheduler does not show it although boot time defrag works on the next boot. :roll:

 

I see only a schedule entry for automatic defrag when auto defrag set to ON.

 

Cheers.

I don't show any scheduled tasks for SD. The only thing showing is for Applesoftwareupdate. But the automatic defrag set to on & is working & I will have to see in a couple of days if the Boot Time Defrag works.
