Once you start a defragmentation process, the estimated remaining time is displayed by Smart Defrag. The defragmentation of the drive may take a while depending on its fragmentation status and speed. You may pick any of the other actions listed here, for instance to defragment large files only. Naturally, you are not limited to selecting the recommended action.

What you need to do instead is select "smart defrag" instead or move the mouse over the arrow next to it to select the recommended action. fast defrag but that option is not actionable there. The program displays a reocmmendation, e.g. Smart Defrag reveals the number of fragments and fragmented files that it found during the scan, and the overall fragmentation rate on top of that.


You may want to start with an analysis of platter-based drives connected to the PC which should not take longer than a minute even for large drives.
