3. Disk defragmentation
The disk fragmentation happens when the computer is in use for a long period of time or a huge amount of applications have been used on that particular system. Due to this, the system saves files in random places and it takes a while for a computer to run them collectively.
To defrag the disk, search the “DISK DEFRAG” in the Windows search and enter. It will open the defragmentation tool.
- First, choose the disk that you want to defrag (optimize) and click on the Optimize button.
- The process will take a few seconds.
- You can repeat the process for other disks as well.
