Version 20 Build 457 Delays
Verfasst: Mo 5. Dez 2016, 12:24
Hello. I am an older user of O&O Defrag who recently upgraded to the latest version of 20. I have been attempting to execute a COMPLETE/Access defragmentation of my C: drive. The defrag starts off perfectly and is very fast. However, it will eventually slow to a crawl. It is executing right now after I had started it yesterday (approximately twenty hours of straight defrag time). It shows at 11% complete, and it was at 8% complete before I slept for the night. Older versions never did anything like this, so I wanted to get feedback on what I am seeing.
What is currently happening is that the tool is spending 100% of a CPU core with little to no disk activity as shown by Windows Task Manager. This is O&O's defrag process spending this CPU time, but I am not sure at all what it is doing. My general experience with the latest tool is that it will often spend a lot of CPU time as opposed to disk activity time during processing. I am seeing that the process will use 100% of a single CPU core for about four to five minutes while processing the following:
C:\Windows\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed\B2ACCF99DF1FE66E3E9BAA75BFFBE266\9.59.29989\fil6701c3..................
It will show the current file/folder as that stuck at 100% of a single CPU core being used. In about four or five minutes, it will then show a new file and the 100% CPU usage moves to a new core. This is the worst of the slowness I have ever experienced, but there are other similar experiences in the total defragmentation I have attempted. I have not yet allowed it to finish, because it has simply been taking too long. Now is currently the longest I have ever allowed it to run. This is also the longest delay I have ever experienced.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I am now experiencing? I have versions of O&O Defrag of 12 and 14 still on my network storage where I never saw anything like this. The estimated remaining time currently shows as 1 Day, 16:49:05. However, this time is not accurate, of course. I really have no idea how long this defrag will take.
