The process linked to the file pdengine.exe is commonly known as PDENgine Module. This is installed by the software for PerfectDisk, which is a disk defragmenter that runs as a Windows service. The file however, is not an essential file that needs to be running every time you start your PC and the system launches its processes. You may disable the file from startup, unless you want the disk defragmentation program to do its job during startup, because that is what the file does when it launches upon startup: defragment your disk drives as the system loads. The file also needs to be enabled if you had it scheduled to run at specific times, otherwise, it is safe to disable the file. You may choose to enable it only when you will be defragmenting your disk drives. The software that installed the file is published by Raxco Software, Inc. Its average file size is 2.07 MB.
