SYMPTOMS
When you use Winternals Defrag Manager to perform a scheduled defragmentation task, the defragmentation process seems to stop responding when the Percent Complete status bar reaches 99 percent.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because Winternals Defrag Manager merges free space as the final phase of the defragmentation process. This phase may take a long time. The total time that this phase takes depends on the condition of the hard disk.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, skip the final phase of the defragmentation process. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Defrag Manager.
 * 2) Under the SCHEDULES node, right-click a scheduled task, and then click Properties.
 * 3) On the Options tab, select Aggressively consolidate free space, and then click OK.
