What is Windows Disk Defragmenter?
The Disk Defragmenter is a built-in utility in Microsoft Windows that optimizes file storage on a disk to enhance access speed and system performance. By rearranging files to occupy contiguous storage locations, the program reduces the time required for the disk's read/write heads to locate and retrieve data, thereby improving the overall transfer rate and boosting application responsiveness. This functionality also helps expedite system startup times, as the operating system can more efficiently access critical files and resources. With its automated defragmentation capabilities, the Disk Defragmenter streamlines disk management and ensures optimal storage utilization, delivering a more efficient and reliable computing experience for users
