WinContig
WinContig defragments selected files or folders, so you can process frequently used items without defragmenting an entire disk. It is a Windows standalone executable: no installation or additional DLLs are required, and its files and settings stay in one folder. It supports FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, and ReFS on internal and external HDDs and SSDs. You can save groups of files and folders as profiles, use command-line switches in scripts or scheduled tasks, and add optional analyze and defragment commands to File Explorer. WinContig can also scan for file-system errors, retrieve S.M.A.R.T. data, and remove temporary files before defragmentation. It supports Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11, along with Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2019, in 32-bit and 64-bit editions. It needs 6 MB of free disk space and administrator access. The Freeware plan costs nothing, with personal and commercial use on unlimited Windows computers and no registration or payment.
