Schedule defragmenter result 0x1
I set up 4 scheduled defrag for 4 hdd in my computer.
They seem to run fine, except on 3 hdd it says "Last Result 0x0"
And on 1 hdd it says "0x1"
Why the difference and is there something wrong?

There is no Advanced Tab and I can't find a "View Log" option anywhere.

Can you try and run the command in a dos window?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\defrag
Let me know what happens.
