You wouldn't normally see anything, the defrag routine has no graphical
interface. It is designed to run as a low priority process in the
background.

The problem is that when i try to open defrag it will not start up so i can
run it

Hi,

Are you sure it's not already running? Check via task manager. If there are
multiple instances of it, this may interfere as well.
