Switch off automatic defragmentation and save battery power

Quick overview:

Wndows 7 defragmentiert die Festplatte (standardmäßig) jeden Mittwoch automatisch. Wenn das allerdings gerade im Akkubetrieb ausgeführt ist, kann das zu einer merklichen Verschlechterung der Akkuleistung führen. Schließlich muss der Schreib- und Lesekopf der Festplatte hin und her springen. Das frisst Akku!

Windows-Tweaks empfiehlt: Die Festpatte von Hand defragmentieren und die Automatisierung ausschalten. So geht’s:

1. Klicken Sie dazu auf den Startknopf, auf „Alle Programme“, auf „Zubehör“ und dann auf „Defragmentierung“.

2. Um die automatische Defragmentierung auszuschalten, klicken Sie einfach auf den Eintrag „Zeitplan konfigurieren“ und entfernen das Häkchen vor dem Eintrag „Ausführung nach Zeitplan (empfohlen)“. Klicken Sie dann auf „OK“.

That’s it! Damit wird der Akku nicht mehr belastet.

He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
