Hello

I have been trying to shrink my disk but it is always giving me a problem saying:

THE SERVICE CANNOT BE STARTED, EITHER BECAUSE IT IS DISABLED OR BECAUSE IT HAS NO ENABLED DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

Honestly, I don't know what else I can do.

I really need a help with it please!!!

    Ciao,

    I'm Ugo, a Microsoft Independent Advisor willing to help other Microsoft customers.

    Regarding your question, as a first troubleshooting option, can you please try to enable the VIRTUAL DISK MANAGER service?

    Please let me know if this helped somehow.

    Ciao

    Hi Edgar, this error can happen if the Disk Optimization (Derangement) service is stopped

    Click your Start Button type defragmant and hit Enter

    Ensure the Scheduled Optimization is enabled

    Then restart your PC and try shrinking your volume again . . .
