I have been trying access the Task Scheduler on my wife's laptop and what I get is a window stating. "The remote computer was not found" I'm sure that the tasks I installed are not working and I'm trying to defragment the drives. When I put Disk Defragment in Start search the window comes up but shows that I cannot access any schedule tasiks. mthkumudo
Did it used to work fine and suddenly stop? Can you manually run Defrag? See Schedule Disk Defragmenter to run regularly. That said, I personally am not a fan regularly scheduled defragging because the system does not clean out potentially 1000s of tiny temporary files first. And I feel that is counter-productive to an effective defragging. And the reality is, you don't need regular defragging if you have lots of free disk space - and disk space is cheap.
What I get on her computer is"Disk Defragmneter cannot start because the Task Scheduler Service is not running, Try again later," I've tried many times with the same results. I can not start the Disk Deftranmenter manually because I get the same message. Years ago on one of my older computers I was able to manually defrag by hitting one of the f buttons repeatedly when I rebooted. Sorry for the delay in answering, had to take my wife to hospital and was there with her for a day. Everything fine now, just tired. mthkumudo
I am glad your wife is fine. As for the TS problem, not having much luck for you. I found this which may have a solution for you.
