Disk Defragmentation
When we create or edit a file, it can get stored in separate pieces across different memory
locations on the hard drive, leading to fragmentation. This makes the system work harder to read
the file, which can slow down the computer. The Disk Defragmenter in Windows reorganises
fragmented data to improve efficiency.
To access Disk Defragmenter in Windows 11, follow the given steps:
Step 1: Click on the Start button.
