    Optimize drive - does not show in list

    The drive that does not show in the Windows 10 list to optimize, reports as type "dynamic" in Disk Management (Disk 0, drive letters E: and FC drive not showing up in disk optimization [Windows 10 Home] :). Screen shots below.

    Could this be why that disk does not show in Optimize? How can the disk and its drive letters show up in disk management, yet fail to show in Optimize?

    Windows 10 Disk Management console:

    C drive not showing up in disk optimization [Windows 10 Home]

    Optimize drive - does not show in list

    In Windows 10 when I go to my internal E: drive, select Properties, and then Tools, Optimize, the E: drive does not show in the list of drives available. The drive shows in Disk Management as healthy and online. It's a 500 GB internal NTFS drive. Performing
    error checking Scan Drive (Tools, Error checking, Check) works successfully on it with no errors reported.

    I also went to the command prompt (admin) and entered the command "defrag e: /a /v". It immediately comes back with the text

    "Microsoft Drive Optimizer

    Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp."

    but does nothing.

    I also tried the command "defrag e: /u /v" and that immediately returns the same text:

    "Microsoft Drive Optimizer

    Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp."

    and does nothing.

    I also rebooted to Safe mode with the same lack of results.

    I am stumped about this problem. Thanks for any clues!
