O&O Defrag 10 Pro automated defrag not working?


Question

Hi,

I've been using O&O Defrag 10 Professional for a while on Vista and I have the "OneButtonDefrag" activated.. However, I'm not sure it's working, I'm not sure the defragging is automated... How do I check that? I mean, I didn't manually defrag for a while and when analyzed the volume, it was quite high and I wasn't expecting that because I thought that automatic defragmentation was enabled and working. I opened Vista Task Scheduler and tried to look for something about O&O "OneButtonDefrag" but didn't find anything...

How do I make sure that it's enabled/working and/or how do I enable it if it's not enabled? (although the button is activated)

So why dont you use "Diskeeper 2008 Professional Edition"

@Quad Master

First, that's no solution... I hate it when people say to use different software to "workaround" the problem they are asking help for... And second, I prefer O&O better and I'm not going back to Diskeeper anytime soon...

@BlueFlame

I have a few auto logs created on February 7 and some today, but in between only reports from manual defragmentation. I'll keep an eye on the reports for the time being to see if they get created... Thanks.

P.S: This isn't related to the problem in the topic but to O&O. Every time I start O&O Defrag, the window isn't maximized and it starts drawing out of screen. Does any one have this issue, any way to fix it? It's like it isn't saving the window size/position and restore it when I start it again... Dunno why, it doesn't happen with any other application.

Actually I don't have it enabled because I don't like the idea to have it always in the tray when it's not doing nothing. I like how Diskeeper works regarding the tray though... I mean, the tray icon will visible only when some defragmentation is taking place, and not all the time... If only O&O tray icon was like that, I would enable it... I'm going to enable for the time being though, to check if I notice some automatica defragmentation.

I've just checked the reports and there are a bunch of (auto) reports for the last few days.

But now that I tried to enable the Task Tray Control, I don't know why but it doesn't want to appear on the tray... I tried to enable/disable countless times logging off and rebooting between but it doesn't work... Any thoughts?

Use MSConfig to see if you have a startup entry for ?oodtray.exe? file in C:\WINDOWS\system32. If not reinstall O&O or create a shortcut for oodtray.exe in the Startup folder.

Thanks.

Don't understand why the entry doesn't get created when selecting the option in O&O settings dialog:s. :s I better reinstall this thing when I get the time.

    • Apple's AI models still trail behind OpenAI's GPT-4o despite latest update by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2025, Apple announced several updates related to Apple Intelligence for both developers and consumers. With the new Foundation Models framework, developers can now bring AI experiences to their apps that work offline in a privacy-preserving way and are available free of charge. The Foundation Models framework is built on Apple’s own in-house-developed AI models. Apple also unveiled a new generation of language foundation models. According to Apple, these updated models are faster, more efficient, and offer improved tool use, better reasoning capabilities, multimodal support for image and text inputs, and support for 15 languages. Apple Intelligence includes two foundation models: A 3-billion-parameter model that runs on-device using Apple Silicon. A server-based mixture-of-experts model optimized for Private Cloud Compute. Apple noted that the on-device 3B language model is not designed to be a general-purpose chatbot. Instead, it is intended to perform text-related tasks such as summarization, entity extraction, text understanding, refinement, short dialogues, and creative content generation, among others. The big question is how well Apple’s models perform compared to other leading models on the market. Rather than using standard AI benchmarks, Apple shared results from its own internal evaluations of fundamental language and reasoning capabilities. According to Apple’s text-based evaluations, its on-device 3B model performs favorably against the slightly larger Qwen-2.5-3B and competitively against the larger Qwen-3-4B and Gemma-3-4B in English. Its server-based model performs slightly better than Llama-4-Scout but falls short compared to Qwen-3-235B and OpenAI’s proprietary GPT-4o. In evaluations involving image input, Apple’s on-device model outperforms InternVL and Qwen, and performs competitively against Gemma. While Apple’s server model beats Qwen-2.5-VL, it underperforms when compared to Llama-4-Scout and GPT-4o. These results highlight how far Apple still has to go in foundational AI capabilities. It seems Apple compared its models to GPT-4o to make its performance appear relatively decent. If Apple were to compare its results against OpenAI’s latest O-series models or Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, the gap would likely appear much wider. It will be interesting to see how Apple navigates the AI era with its in-house capabilities in the years ahead.
