But For common users, it is rather difficult to find the causes.  If such problem is taking place when disk is defragmenting every time, you should not let Windows load any programs and do that after defragmentation.

You can click “Start”—“Run”, type “msconfig” and enter in “System Configuration Utility”. In the “General” tab, do not tick anything except “Selective Startup”, and click “OK”. Then restart your computer. The computer can defragment under the clearest environment.
