How to Defragment on Boot-up

The Disk Defragmenter consolidates fragmented files and folders, according to Microsoft. Once you run the Defragmenter, you will be able to access your files and applications quicker. This tool also ensures that the files you install in the future do not fragment. If this tool will not start up in normal mode, you can run it at boot-up. Your PC's performance will enhance as a result of this tool.

Instructions

1. Exit all applications and restart your PC.

2. Tap "F8" at the boot screen in succession until the advanced boot options menu appears.

3. Scroll down to "Safe mode with Command Prompt" and press "Enter." This will launch the Command Prompt.

4. Type "defrag /f" at the prompt and press "Enter." Your system will load into normal mode once the process is complete.
