Dear Triple Hex
I know you are busy sorry to bother you.
Thank you so much, and I guess after changing the setting in Optimizer , made no change. I guess I will go Geek Squad to wipe clean again. didn't see a support ticket. I don't worry anymore. Thank you for your time and have a great day.

Emmy has been working with BestBuy and even took her Laptop in to them for service. So I'm guessing if you could esculate things that would be great!;)

I do the same thing I run my scan Manually, Also,I do the system optimizer Manually.
This is my setting now:
Inside Enable Scheduled It is Unchecked .
Enable Scheduled scans is also Unchecked
Run on bootup if the system was off is also Unchecked
Is this a correct setting ??
Also, I noticed something: Inside Secure Erase it is set to normal is this like the old window washer Bleach setting?
Thanks.
Glad to hear you scan manually. I take it that you scan and optimize manually as well? I do not schedule Optimization, I do that manually only. I scan my comuter manually and alsoenable scheduled scans. Here are my settings for scanning. They were set by default when I installed, however I did change the time. I do recommend to check scan at bootup. The scan is fast and should not cause any problem as far as slowing down your system. It was set as I mentioned by default for me upon installation
To optimize manually click on the gear next to utilities, then cllick on Optimize Now
As for secure erase set to normal, that setting deletes the files directly as opposed to going to the to the recycle bin where they remain until you empty it. I prefer using medium which is 3 passes.
It's been a few years since I had Window Washer, but if memory serves me well, the bleach setting securely erased files and the free space as well. That would be setting secure erase to the Max setting,
BTW, did changing your UAC settings take care of the messages you were receiving?
Good to hear from you!

I agree with you Baldrick! I run the optimizer manually myself, that way I am in full control. You can see in my image that I dont have it checked, I did set up the example as I do feel that optimizing is important.@ wrote:
Hi Venus60@ wrote:
I don't see the "scheduled scans to optimize your computer and your settings are to always notify,"
I have it on Optimize at specific time an it is at 6:00PM.
And Enable scheduled optimization is UNCHECKED.
Is it better to set the optimize time for example like early morning so I am not working with my computer or dose it matter if I am working with my computer at the same time it is Optimized ?
Also, Inside Scan Scheduler It is set to Enable scheduled scan at it is set to scan every day scan at 6:00 PM when resources are available. should I change this settings to very early in the morning so the computer is Off ?
Also, I have not installed my webroot recently, I don't think it is a installation issue.
My User Account Setting is set on Always Notify. Should I change it to the Middle one which is Do Not Notify me when I Make Changes To My Computer ?
How are you doing? Not seen you about lately so hope all is well with you?
To be perfectly honest, if I may add my thoughts here, I would not schedule the Optimizer but run it manually, periodically, say just before doing a back up or image of your machine (if yo take that precaution). The effectiveness of the Optimizer will depend on how much you have used the machine is the time since the last run, and how much you have been using the areas that the Optimizer is set to optimise/clean.
Not sure if that is of any help but hopefully adds to the information for you to consider on this subject.

Baldrick
Also, I like your explanation, you verbalized it much better than I could ever do!

Inside Enable Scheduled It is Unchecked .
Enable Scheduled scans is also Unchecked
Run on bootup if the system was off is also Unchecked

Hi TripleHex Daniel
How are you today, remember me little voice the one that mentioned about setting the Optimizer to help rid the report. I had an issue with Optimizer 2 times after repair of defrag file as well. May I pick your brain later if this didn't work.
Thank you and have a great day.

Sure but if there is something going wrong with WSA and defrag it's best to contact the support inbox as they can gather logs with a tool of there's and get more info as it could be a simple thing as getting some files Whitelisted in the Cloud Database.
