Should I use boot time defrag?
There is a great advantage of defragging hard drive during boot time – it can move some files that are in use all the time when your computer is on. If this advantage benefits you in any way, there is no harm in defragging while booting your system. That being said, you can try this third-party tool called Defraggler, which helps you defrag during boot.
Is Defraggler better than Windows Defrag?
If you consider all the features, options, and workflow, you might find Defraggler is slightly better than the in-built functionality that Windows 11/10 comes with. For instance, Defraggler lets you defrag files forcefully, whereas Windows Defrag ignores most of the files at times. As a result, it might not work properly as it should be. That is why Defraggler is better than Windows Defrag.
You can download it from its home page.
Defraggler comes from the folks who have given us CCleaner, Recuva and Speccy!
