Features of WinContig

Here is a brief overview of the features of WinContig.

Portable

WinContig is a standalone executable that doesn't require installation or additional DLLs. All the files needed to run WinContig, including settings, are stored in a single folder. This means you can carry the program with you on any removable storage device, such as a USB flash drive.

Very fast and reliable

Trusted by millions of users worldwide, WinContig is known for being a very reliable application. Defragmentation and analysis processes are based on kernel-mode interface library functions. Thus, performing defragmentation process is safe and there is no risk of losing data when a file is moved, even in the event of a power loss.

Defragmentation of single files

WinContig has been designed to specifically defragment single files or entire folders without the need to defragment the whole disk. For example, you can move a file to the faster area of the drive to get the best possible performance.

Defragmentation of folder entries

Internally, NTFS treats folders as a special type of file. WinContig optionally allows you to analyze and defragment folder entries stored on NTFS file system volumes.

Customizable interface

WinContig provides a clean, fully customisable interface so you can make the application function in a way that suits your needs.

Support for Light and Dark themes and high-contrast modes

WinContig automatically detects the system theme and adjusts the interface accordingly.

Check for disk integrity

WinContig enables you to scan disks for file system errors and retrieve useful information, including statistics, to help prevent data loss or corruption (S.M.A.R.T. data).

Support for command-line switches

WinContig accepts a number of optional command-line switches that allow you to control how the program operates. This is useful if you want to run WinContig from a script or as a scheduled task.

Remove unnecessary files

Temporary files created by the operating system or applications are not always removed automatically, which wastes valuable storage space. WinContig enables you to delete these temporary files before running defragmentation, so you don't waste time or system resources defragging useless data.

Multilanguage

Thanks to the contributions of volunteers from all over the world, WinContig is available in more than 25 languages.

Integration with File Explorer

You can also choose to integrate WinContig with File Explorer. This allows you to analyze and defragment files and folders by right-clicking on them in File Explorer and selecting the relevant option from the context menu.

Creation of profiles

WinContig enables you to group files and folders into profiles for processing at a later time. This is particularly useful when processing the same files or folders repeatedly.
