The error message with Auslogics Prefetch Layout Defrag profile : ""Prefetch needs to be enable to perform optimization".
How to enable or to fix this error ? I don't understand for which reason I got this. Windows prefetch is already enabled.

I think the problem is that it lacks the layout.ini file in Prefetch folder. Try restarting your computer, this sometimes just to automatically recreate the layout.ini file. If it is not re-created, to restore it, you can open a Command Prompt (run as administrator), type the command (copy and paste):

rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

and press Enter

I have been using Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro for a few months and find it to do a good job.Works fine for me on Windows 10.
Has good settings options as well as scheduler.

I don't have layout.ini file.

Access to the prefetch folder needed admin rights, is it normal ?
This command is also working on Vista 32 bits ?

C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch is the path and privileges are needed, answer "yes" when the window open.
Check the layout.ini file if present and follow the previous step.

I have used puran in the past. Its thourough for sure but it takes its sweet time. Iobit smart defrag is a fairly fast defragmenter but nearly not as thourough as all the
. If i had to choose ; auslogics all the way ( pro version ) edit : Puran installer is riddled with pups , it will be fine if you have unchecky installed.

Auslogics for sure because it can help SSD live longer.

don't bother with 3rd party defragger, the gains over Windows built-in is minimal.

The Big Windows 7 Defragmenter Test - Conclusion

"Actually, the SSD deserved the 1st place. But since it is not a defragmenter, it is therefore excluded from the rankings. Given the noticeable performance increase of 100% for some individual applications, one should seriously consider buying a SSD."

This one beats everything. :D
