Are you having trouble with your disk Defragmenter not working and task scheduler not opening up on your Windows device? If you are experiencing these issues, you’re in luck. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you on how to resolve these problems.
Firstly, open up your Start menu and type in “services.msc” in the search bar. This should be listed as a top app on Windows 10. For earlier versions of Windows, it should just say “services.” Left-click on it to open it up.
Next, scroll down until you get to Windows Event Log or move it up in ascending order. Double-click on it, and change the startup type to “automatic” and apply. This should start up the service. If it doesn’t, click on the start button and make sure the service says “running” after you’ve changed the startup type to automatic. Once done, click on OK.
Now, go to the task scheduler service and double-click on it. If it’s not set to automatic, enable it. This will make sure that the options are not greyed out for you. Start the service and click apply and OK.
Once you’re done with that, close out of the window and try to open up the disk Defragmenter again. Hopefully, your issue has been resolved.
In conclusion, if you’re experiencing disk Defragmenter and task scheduler problems on your Windows 7 device, follow the above steps to fix them. We hope this brief tutorial helped you out. If you have any further questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below.
