It doesn't - unless you've set a schedule. The 'default' is Wednesday mornings at 1am - which is pointless because the computer cannot defrag the drive while it's switched off ! You would normally set the defrag program to run at a specific time and day which suits your needs. You can set it to run daily, weekly or monthly at whatever time is suitable to you.
