Click the StealthPatrol tab on the Tab Bar of PerfectDisk.
The StealthPatrol tab allows you to enable/disable OptiWrite and Auto-Optimization.
OptiWrite - OptiWrite prevents fragmentation before it even occurs, preventing degradation of system performance. OptiWrite does this without impacting system performance. By preventing file fragmentation from even occurring, system performance is maintained while eliminating the need to defragment files after the fact. As a result, less system resources are used in the long term, saving both in energy costs and in the time or need required to eliminate fragmentation.
Auto-Optimization - Screen Saver Mode - Screen Saver Mode optimizes when the Windows screen saver is active. Screen Saver Mode is only available in PerfectDisk 12 Home Premium, PerfectDisk 12 Pro and PerfectDisk 12 Pro for Networks.
Auto-Optimization - Automatic Mode optimizes whenever your computer is idle.
Screen Saver Mode and Automatic Mode are mutually exclusive on a per drive basis, both cannot be enabled on the same drive.
The StealthPatrol tab is used to configure OptiWrite and Auto-Optimization on selected drives. The Information on the screen is divided into the following sections:

Auto-Optimization |
In this section you can individually enable Screen Saver Mode or Automatic Mode for each drive. When the Status is "ON" then you can enable Mode (Automatic or Screen Saver) for a drive. When the Status is "OFF", setting Mode will not apply. Mode only applies when the Status is "ON". If Status is switched to OFF (Disabled), Automatic and Screen Saver Modes will be disabled. If Status is switched to "ON", Automatic or Screen Saver Modes can be selected. |
Select times and days of the week when you do not want auto-optimization to occur. If any days/times are configured, PerfectDisk's StealthPatrol technology will not resolve fragmentation on your system during the indicated days/times. Click the days in the calendar to exclude. Red shaded days/times indicate when PerfectDisk will NOT automatically optimize your system. Green shaded days/times indicates when PerfectDisk will automatically optimize your system. |

Do not optimize when the following programs are running |
In the section labeled Do not optimize when the following programs are running, add any desired applications to this list. Click the Add button and select the application(s) to include. This ensures PerfectDisk's StealthPatrol technology does not start optimization when the listed applications are running. The Remove button can be used to remove any selected application from the list. The Remove All button is used to remove all applications from the list at once. |
