Defragmenter snap-in files have been de-registered Go to the Windows Update site to verify that you have all necessary updates. It is possible that a Windows update may fix your “disk defragmenter could not start” error. This may be able to fix errors that Windows own Check Disk utility cannot locate or fix, which may be the cause of defrag errors. You will need to identify the make and model of your hard drive and visit the manufacturer’s website or contact their customer support to download their diagnostic tools. Download your hard drive manufacturer’s diagnostic software If you have an external hard drive connected, disconnect it before trying to defragment your main hard drive.

Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced tab and click Settings under Performance. Of course, if you can determine which program is causing the problem, you will still need to decide how to take action to fix the defrag error if you want to keep the program installed. If you still cannot defrag after all is done, try returning the system to an earlier time. Select the most recent restore point in the System Restore list and click Next. To do this, run System Restore – log on to Windows as Administrator and go to: Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore. To find out if this is the case, roll back your system to the state it was before the change.
