Defrag on Windows 10 says Optimisation not available

Is your C drive a disk or an SSD? If it's an SSD then optimisation is not very important. With modern fast disks defrag has far less impact than it used to. I assume optimisation is turned on so maybe a screenshot of the error would help us. There are free websites around which do this, just give us the URL. Here's one: http://www.zippyshare.com/ These will be of interest if it is an SSD: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewto... http://www.hanselman.com/blog/TheRe... Slowdowns are much more often caused by malware. Best to first do a quick check with these three freebies, which often find what anti-virus programs miss. Run them in the order given: AdwCleaner: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow... (blue Download button near top - not anything else on the page). Download and "Save" the file somewhere. Go to the saved file then double click it to run the program. Use the "Scan" button, followed by the "Cleaning" button. Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow... (blue Download button near top - not anything else on the page). Download and "Save" the file somewhere. Go to the saved file then double click it to run JRT. It might appear to have stopped at times or flash the screen but sit tight until it has finished. MalwareBytes: https://www.malwarebytes.org/ Download the free version. Install and Run the program but before doing its Scan go to "Settings > Detection and Protection" and put a checkmark in "Scan for rootkits". Quarantine anything it finds. Please copy/paste the logs on here. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks message edited by Derek
