I turn mine off (open the defrag tool and uncheck the box for running it

Personally, I think it is BS that it is automatically turned on. I was
unable to find the degfrag tool under Accessories or Maintenance, the
two places where it either used to be or where I expected it. Using
the Start Menu search I found it and turned it off. Not sure why MS
hides the defragger like this from the user. It's a bit of a mystery
to me why MS would move to a less transparent solution, rather than
make the old degragger more useful, particularly in the Ultimate
version, which is (as far as I perceive) geared towards high-end users
that prefer to customize how they want their OS to work. I guess in
the home editions I would expect this kind of hidden automation from
the user, but...oh well!
