Ever since I upgraded to Norton Utilties 16, I find it takes at least five hours or more to get my meter arrow to green. I really
don't like this. I find I cannot schedule it for daily because I don't have time to wait for it to go through the whole process of
bringing my computer up-to-date. If I don't do the defrag at the same time as I do one click optimization, then the meter
arrow always stays at mid-way point. Also once I do 1 click and defrag, I still have to manually do another privacy clean,
bleaching and one other thing, I can't remember. I don't know why Norton went ahead and made it much more time
consuming to keep my computer up-to-date. Also, I can find no way to adjust it so that things can be done more quickly.
I love being able to run it every day. But with the version it is impossible as I don't have five hours a day to clean my
computer.
With Norton Utilties 15 I could run it daily first thing at start-up and I only had to defrag about once every week, as my
meter arrow would indicate mid-way instead of all the way to the right. With one click everything else was taken care
off other than the boot defrag which done at the same time as the defrag of my drives. I could run it every day and
it took no time at all when I first started my computer.
I wish there was a way to go back to my Norton Utilities 15. I hate this updated Norton Utilities 16 version.

Hello qauzar,
I do believe NU 16 works in a similar way to NU 15 but the way you use it is quiet different. It should only ask you defrag and run repair drive once in a while. The key is to successfully complete what is in the 'recommended actions' when it is required.
Could you please tell me exactly what you are doing to get system health high on your system and why it takes 5 hours to do so? a screenshot of your NU16 dashboard will be helpful. I should be able to explain in better detail once I fully understand what porcesses you are trying to run.
Looking forward to your reply.
