Hey there, Let’s start by deploying the Defraggler App Through the Enterprise App Catalog App in Intune. Here, we are going to learn the deployment process. Defraggler is a free defragmentation utility developed by Piriform Software.
Defraggler can defragment individual files or groups of files on computer memory systems. The application runs on Microsoft Windows and supports all versions since Windows XP. Defraggler includes support for both IA-32 and x64 versions of these operating systems.
It supports FAT32, NTFS, and exFAT. It can also be installed as a portable application on a USB flash drive. Defragmentation of RAID disks is also supported in this, although no details are provided. Windows automatically defragment mechanical drives, but we can manually optimize and defragment external drives.
Use Defraggler to defrag our entire hard drive or individual files unique in the industry. It speeds up our computer by placing all the parts of a file on the same section of the hard drive. Now, we are going to deploy the Defraggler app through the Enterprise App Catalog app in Intune.
