    Defragment & Optimize Drives Reports "Never run"


    Since upgrading to Windows 10 2004, I have encountered an issue with the tool Defragment & Optimize Drives. First of all, let me state that I have a SSD and realize that defragmentation is not needed. However, I find it odd that the tool reports "Never run" and "Needs optimization."


    I am able to run the tool and it appears to run the optimization command properly but upon reboot it returns to the above "Never run" and "Needs optimization" statements. Also, the "Analyze" button is never available (greyed out). None of this was an issue prior to the update. Thusfar, this is the only oddity I have discovered with the update. Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions on how to fix? I don't really want to uninstall the update over this one issue. Thanks in advance!

    WinVer: 2004 (OS Build 19041.264)

  2. defrag and optimize drives

    When I go to defrag & optimize drives one of the drives that is listed as "needs optimization" (12% fragmented) is listed as //?/Volume(a27a9b76-0000-0000-0000-40d6e5000000)/ Can I or should I ignore this?

    Defragment and Optimize Drives Problem

    Hi Edward,

    Based on the details you have provided, your C drive was unrecognized by the system. We suggest that you run these
    commands and see if there are any changes:


    • Open
      Command Prompt
      as
      Administrator.

    • Run
      the following commands:

      • To fix any logical file errors:

        • Chkdsk C: /f /r


      • To defrag your Drive C manually:

        • Defrag C: /D /U

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

    Defragment & Optimize Drives Reports "Never run"

    Defragment and Optimize Drive:

    Hi,

    Defragment and Optimizing your drives can help your PC boot faster and run smoothly. Regarding the screenshot you provided, it looks like the process is running as intended. This process also takes a long time to be completed depending on the size of your
    hard drive, the partition size and the storage file types.

    If you are experiencing issues, please provide the following details:

    • What error message are you getting?
    • Did the defragment progress?
    • On what percentage is it currently on after sending the screenshot?

    We look forward to your response so we can assist you.
