Your PC will become slower over time

Fragmentation occurs on every computer. When files are saved, they are chopped up and stored in individual pieces on the hard drive or SSD wherever there is space. Defragmentation reverses this storage chaos and re-sorts the saved files and puts them back together.

How does O&O Defrag help?

The program cleans up this "shoebox" of scattered files by combining the snippets of a file and writing them one after the other to the hard drive or SSD. In addition, the files are reorganized so that access times when loading are minimized. This saves you time and protects your data storage media. If you use it regularly, the access speed and overall performance of your Windows system will noticeably increase. And so that you never have to worry about “file snippets” again, it can also run completely automatically in the background.

Simply simple

Everyone should have a fast computer. That’s why we made the program so simple that anyone can use it. The new modern view does not require complicated settings. No difficult decision as to which is the best strategy for your PC. It takes care of everything itself. All you have to do is choose whether you want to start it yourself manually or whether you want it to take care of everything automatically.

New: Visualization of write accesses to SSDs

VisualDisk clearly displays write accesses to the hard drive, such as those that occur on flash-based storage media such as SSDs and NVMe drives. This innovative function shows how defragmentation can help reduce future write accesses and extend the lifespan of SSDs. The user gets a clear picture of how the hard drive is working and how its performance can be optimized through targeted measures.

This feature helps you understand how you can get the most out of a hard drive and protect it from unnecessary wear and tear – for a long-lasting and fast PC system.

StartupManager: Remove unnecessary ballast at startup

The new StartupManager offers a clear overview of all programs, tasks and services that are automatically executed when Windows starts. With detailed information about each program – including the impact on the system’s startup time – it is easy to decide which programs should be activated or deactivated.

Unnecessary applications are marked as such and can be deactivated with a mouse click. Defective startup entries are also detected and can be deleted. This shortens the computer’s startup time and ensures that it is ready for use more quickly.
