Windows Stops Responding When You Run Disk Defragmenter

Sometimes when you attempt to run Disk Defragmenter in Windows, your computer stops responding and sometimes even shuts down. If this problem is not solved even after you have run Scandisk, then maybe you have a serious problem.
The disk defragmenter can also come up with a message saying that it could not move all the files on this volume. I had this message one day and thought it was ok. Who cares if disk defragmenter couldn’t move a file, however when I looked at the report log it told a different storey. It had only moved one file and had 1899 that it couldn’t move. Now that was not good.
According to the Microsoft website this behaviour can occur if your computer has been infected with one or more viruses, such as the w32.funlove.4099 or the vbs.network.b virus. Sometimes you can notice what file it hangs on or stops at. It is usually in the system32 that is contained in Windows itself.
Sometimes a corrupt file can cause disk cleanup to stop working and cause so may different symptoms. I presume this could also be the case for the disk defragmenter. Therefore you should also see this article Disk cleanup stops working and will not remove files in Windows. If the cause is the same, then the solution is also.
Besides that it could also mean that your hard drive is on its way out. Of course you can easily do any number of test to find this out.
You can remove the hard drive and put it in an external drive (if it won’t boot in the computer) and test it that way.
