Hello,
I wanted to analyze and optimize my PC when a drive name appeared suspicious:
Drive: \\?\Volume{fa69d952-a355-4dbb-8cf5-86356184c17e}\
Media type: Hard disk drive
Apparently, it needs to be optimized, but when I click on "optimize," nothing happens, nor does "analyze," by the way.
I recognize the OS (C:) drive, but where does this one come from?
Can you help me please!

Hello.
Press the Windows and R keys
Type diskmgmt.msc
Then take a screenshot and upload it to this site:

Hello
It's just the 29% fragmentation; the program usually says it's a lot.
But since defragmentation is automatic and enabled, either it will defragment itself in the week, or it's a protection, and your program does not have access.
Since system management indicates 100% free on all other partitions except C, it doesn't encourage messing with this partition from your program.
We can also assume that the OS on C doesn't necessarily have access, so it doesn't use the fragmented partition, and there's nothing to gain in normal operation by optimizing it.

Good evening,
Unfortunately, I took my computer to a technician due to another issue: a significant slowdown during boot and system navigation, and I forgot to ask... :(
He optimized and cleaned my system, so I think he would have mentioned something about it.
I don't think we need to worry after all.
Thank you for your responses.

Hello, I also have a drive that appeared by itself and asks to be optimized, but no matter how much I optimize it, nothing changes.
Its name: \\?\Volume{c75e99ab-9221-4ba2-8e09-1a9b2aa78827}\
Furthermore, since its appearance, my computer takes longer and longer to start up.
I would like to have more information and to know if there is a solution for my PC to function properly again.
Is it a virus? A system bug?
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Go to this page: https://www.commentcamarche.net/informatique/windows/147-restaurer-windows-avec-les-points-de-restauration/
It's for Windows 7 but it's also valid for Windows 8.
Move your mouse to the top right / Settings / click on PC info and on the left you'll see system protection and click on it. Follow the instructions and you'll see it works.
