The reason defrag seems to pause at 10% is that it is arranging the startup programs to lead faster( ie moving them around on the disk). You told it to do this in the defrag options....yes you did.
The only "program" that can be running when you defrag is windows explorer...nothing else....even the systray prgram must be shut down.
If you defrag correctly it does not reset to zero and start again.
