Do you think it would help? Because I would be uber bored whilst waiting for it to finish so I really would rather not.

I usually go by whether the analysing tells me if I should or not.

If it says yes, then I would.

Have you analyzed it?

It says I should. But maybe I should wait till it crashes twice a day rather than once a week...
Or until I have money for a monitor for my other computer so I have something to do whilst its running...
...or ...till I have a life...

lol. not good ideas

maybe find something else to do?

You can still use the computer, just reallllllly slowly.

Or run it when you plan to eat dinner or something.

Before you go to bed, you can start the defrag, and just let it run overnight (or however long it needs to run). Then, by the time you wake up the next morning, it should already be done.

my laptop has a tendency to switch itself off when I leave it alone, I have told it not to but sometimes it does anyway, I think because it decides it wants to update things and then restart itself... I don't know if it would do so whilst running defrag but I guess its worth a try...

You could check your laptop's power management settings, and Windows/Automatic Update settings? For the Automatic Updates, I have my laptop set to only notify--I control if/when downloads/updates occur. And as for power management, I adjust it accordingly, but I usually have it set to standby after about two hours of idle time. I also have it set to standby when I close my screen.

Yeah you need to run it.
