    Hi,

     

    I am sorry to say that this new interface is by design.

     

    If you run defrag from the command line (defrag.exe <driveLetter>), you can use the verbose flag /v to get more detailed output.  Running defrag.exe /? will list the other options that you can use with the Command Line defrag tool.  Make sure to run from an elevated (administrator) command prompt.

    By running a defragmentation from a Command Prompt, you can at least select a specific drive and see the disk figures.

    The command needs to be run from an elevated Command Prompt, i.e. Click the Windows Orb (Start) > All Programs > Accessories and right-click Command Prompt, then ‘Run as Administrator’. Type defrag c: -v -w (note the three spaces) and press Enter.

    In the above example c: represents the C drive.
