随着时间的推移，您会开始注意到在您的 PC 上启动程序开始需要比平时更长的时间来加载。整体性能开始下降，很明显您心爱的计算机不再在所有气缸上运行。
这部分是由于您计算机上的文件变得碎片化并且不再正常工作。此时可能需要手动优化。
旧版本的 Windows(Older versions of Windows)使用磁盘碎片整理程序(Disk Defragmenter)工具。为帮助您保持 PC 速度达到最高水平，Windows 10 包含自己的内置工具，用于对所有碎片文件进行碎片整理。
如何对 Windows 10 进行碎片整理。值得吗？(How To Defrag Windows 10. Is It Worth It?)
默认情况下，Windows 10已自动开启计划优化。至少每周一次，您的磁盘驱动器（即 C: 驱动器）会自动进行优化，以帮助您的计算机更有效地运行或进行分析以确定是否需要优化。
然而，尽管Windows 10可以准确地检测存储类型并自动处理文件碎片整理，但它可能并不总是如它所允许的那样最佳。这通常是因为 PC 没有足够长的时间使优化生效，从而妨碍了适当的维护。
因此，最好每隔一段时间手动对硬盘驱动器进行分析和优化，以确保正确维护。如果您在分析过程中发现任何文件碎片，那么您的 Windows 10 计算机可能需要进行碎片整理。
为什么以及何时对 Windows 10 进行碎片整理？(Why & When To Defrag Windows 10?)
连续保存文件会将文件的一部分放入 PC 上的不同卷中。随着文件的增长，更多的文件将被分配到卷中，迫使您的计算机搜索多个区域，从而降低您的计算机速度。
除 SSD 外(With the exception of SSDs)，应每周或至少每月一次进行磁盘碎片整理。同样(Again)，这取决于硬盘驱动器的大小和计算机的日常使用情况。
如前所述，Windows 10 为用户提供了磁盘碎片整理工具，有助于重新排列和重新组合碎片化的文件数据，从而降低 PC 的运行速度。
在 Windows 10 上优化驱动器(Optimizing Drives On Windows 10)
首先，在优化之前，您需要分析驱动器。通过这种方式，您将首先知道驱动器是否需要优化。
- 在任务栏搜索中键入碎片整理和优化驱动器，然后按(Defragment and Optimize Drives)Enter。
- 突出显示(Highlight)要扫描的驱动器，然后单击分析(Analyze)。
如果分析结果显示碎片少于 10%，则可能不需要优化。
- 您的分析结果是否显示高于 10% 的碎片？突出显示驱动器并单击优化(Optimize)。
优化过程完成所需的时间取决于文件数量、驱动器大小和碎片程度。如果您知道驱动器很大，最好在您长时间不在 PC 前时执行此步骤。
- 完成后，状态应显示为OK (0% fragmented)。
设置优化计划(Setting The Optimization Schedule)
默认情况下，优化计划设置为每周运行一次。但是，如果您是计算机的狂热用户，那么最好修改运行维护的频率。
Windows 10 提供了更改驱动器优化频率的选项。
- 仍在优化驱动器(Optimize Drives)窗口中时，单击更改设置(Change settings)。
- 单击(Click)频率(Frequency)下拉菜单并选择您希望优化的频率。您可以在Daily、Weekly或Monthly之间进行选择。
那些经常使用电脑的人应该选择“每日”(Daily)或“每周”(Weekly)选项。无论您选择哪种选择，好的做法是每月至少执行一次手动优化。
固态(S)驱动器(SSDs)( SSD (S))(D)除外。_ SSD(SSDs)使用内存库来存储数据，这意味着它们不需要进行碎片整理。SSD的碎片整理(Defragmentation)实际上会导致性能问题并缩短驱动器的使用寿命。
- 在您希望根据您选择的时间表自动优化的驱动器旁边勾选每个框。
如果您有SSD(SSDs)，您仍会在此列表中看到它们。不要惊慌(Don)，因为SSD(SSDs)不会进行碎片整理。事实上，Windows 10将尝试以不同的方式优化这些驱动器，因此可以安全地检查它们。
- 要应用更改，请单击OK。
- 再次单击确定(OK )，然后关闭窗口。
是否需要碎片整理？(Is Defragmentation Required?)
最简洁的答案是不。不需要进行碎片整理。这值得么？我们会说它非常值得，但最终取决于您对计算机和时间的重视程度。
问题是，Windows 10 会自行处理您的计算机。即使您不想执行手动碎片整理，您的操作系统仍会为您执行碎片整理。只要您不错过定期维护，您的计算机将在活动状态下继续运行良好。
但是，如果您发现事情开始变慢，或者认为自己是高级用户，并且希望更好地控制计算机的内部工作，上述步骤将为您提供。
How To Defrag Windows 10 and Is It Worth It?
Over time, you’ll begin noticing that launching programs on your PC starts to take longer than υsual to load. The overall performance begins to diminish and it’s quite оbvious thаt уour beloved computer is no longer running on all cylinders.
This is due in part to the files on your computer becoming fragmented and no longer working as they should. It’s at this time that a manual optimization may be required.
Older versions of Windows used the Disk Defragmenter tool. To help keep your PC speed topped out, Windows 10 includes its own built-in tool to defragment all fragmented files.
How To Defrag Windows 10. Is It Worth It?
By default, Windows 10 has scheduled optimization turned on automatically. At least once a week, your disk drives, namely the C: drive, are automatically optimized to help your computer run more efficiently or analyzed to determine if optimization is required.
However, even though Windows 10 can accurately detect the type of storage and handle defragmentation of the files automatically, it may not always be as optimal as it lets on. This is usually because the PC isn’t left on long enough for the optimization to take effect which prevents proper maintenance.
So every once in a while it’s best to manually perform analysis and optimization on your hard disk drive to ensure proper maintenance. If you discover any file fragmentation during your analysis, then your Windows 10 computer may be in need of a defrag.
Why & When To Defrag Windows 10?
Continuously saving a file places parts of that file into different volumes on your PC. As the file grows, more of it will be disbursed among volumes forcing your computer to search through multiple areas, slowing down your computer.
With the exception of SSDs, a disk defragmentation should be carried out weekly or, at the very least, once a month. Again, this is determined by the size of your hard drive and the daily use of your computer.
As already stated, Windows 10 provides users with a disk defragmentation tool that helps to rearrange and reunite the fragmented file data slowing down your PC.
Optimizing Drives On Windows 10
First, prior to optimizing, you’ll want to analyze the drive(s). This way you’ll know whether or not the drive(s) need optimization in the first place.
- Type Defragment and Optimize Drives into the taskbar search, and press Enter.
- Highlight the drive you want to scan and click Analyze.
If the results of the analysis show less than 10% fragmented, an optimization is likely not necessary.
- Does your analysis results show higher than a 10% fragmentation? Highlight the drive and click Optimize.
The time it takes for the optimization process to complete is determined by the number of files, size of the drive, and extent of fragmentation. If you know the drive is large, it’s better to perform this step when you won’t be in front of your PC for an extended period.
- Upon completion, the status should display as OK (0% fragmented).
Setting The Optimization Schedule
The optimizations schedule is set up to run every week by default. However, if you’re an avid user of your computer then it’s best you modify the frequency in which the maintenance is run.
Windows 10 offers the option to change the frequency in which drives are optimized.
- While still in the Optimize Drives window, click Change settings.
- Click the Frequency dropdown and select how often you’d like optimization to take place. You’re given a choice between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
Those who use their computers often should opt for the Daily or Weekly option. Good practice, regardless of which selection you choose, is to perform at least one manual optimization per month.
The exception to this is for Solid State Drives (SSDs). SSDs use banks of memory to store data which means they don’t ever need defragmentation. Defragmentation of an SSD can actually cause performance issues and reduce the life of the drive.
- Next, click the Choose button for Drives.
- Put a checkmark into each box alongside the drives you want automatically optimized on your chosen schedule.
You will still see SSDs, if you have them, in this list. Don’t be alarmed as the SSDs will not be defragged. In fact, Windows 10 will attempt to optimize these drives in a different way so it’s safe to keep them checked.
- To apply the changes, click OK.
- Click OK again followed by closing out of the window.
Is Defragmentation Required?
The short answer is, no. Defragmentation is not required. Is it worth it? We would say that it’s very worth it but ultimately depends on how much you value your computer and your time.
The thing is, Windows 10 takes care of your computer all on its own. Even if you don’t want to perform a manual defragmentation, your operating system will still perform one for you. Your computer will continue to perform well while active so long as you don’t miss a scheduled maintenance.
However, if you find things are beginning to slow down or, consider yourself a power user and prefer having more control over what goes on with the inner workings of your computer, the above steps will provide that for you.
