Where is disc defrag? Can I find it with window explorer? Can I see, like I
did with XP, a graph, what it's gonna do and see how the progress is going?
or do I just have to watch the little ring going around and hope all is well
with no idea if it will "take from a few minutes or a few hours"?
 
Hi,

Defrag no longer uses a graphical interface where a user just sits and
watches blocks move and does nothing useful with their machine. It runs now
as a scheduled low-priority process in the background. There are several
good third party defrag utilities available if your desire is to watch the
blocks move.

Right click on the drive (I.e. c:)
properties
tools
Defragment now.

You will not get any feedback graphs.
You get a rotating circle and a comment that this could take from a few
minutes to several hours (or something like that)

It is designed to defragment as needed in the background.

in my startmenu is elliptically named 'dfrgui'.
if 'ui' is for 'user interface', i'd like to meet the guy (or g-ui :P) who
designed it like this...
just starts and says 'analysis could take several minutes'...
....

.... after many of which, i shut it down, downloaded auslogics disk defrag,
and am happy with it.
