Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, right click on
Volume Shadow Copy and select Properties. In the window is a scroll bar
to the right of Start Up Type. If the current setting is Automatic
change it to Manual. If already set to Manual change it to Disable.
Click on Apply and OK and restart your computer. After the computer has
restarted check to see if the Volume Shadow service is in a stopped
state. It would be better running your computer with Volume Shadow set
to Manual. Now check whether the pauses in the running of your
Defragmenter no longer occur.
