Windows 10: Calling SSD users. What does your 'Optimise' window show ?

With rapid mode off and on.

 

@Mooly here is an Event Viewer Custom View I just created:

Optimize Drives Custom View.zip

Just download it,

right click and open properties,
select "Unblock", then ok,
unzip it,
then open Event Viewer and import it.




It will then appear under Custom Views, and show "Retrim" for SSDs or "Defragmentation" for HDDs under the Details\Friendly View tab:




It will show for when you do it manually and when it is done through Auto Maintenance.

 

Thanks Cliff, you are a star with all this stuff (really *Smile) although I think I'm going to keep this installation standard for now at least.

Thanks though, I do appreciate all your efforts.

 

Yes, I agree with you *Thumbs

 

You're welcome, the custom view makes no changes, it just makes it easier to see what, when & if trim & defrag ran.
I have a couple of other custom views, for shutdown, boot & restart, and Windows & UWP apps updates.
It just makes it easier then treeing down to the item, and also sets a filter, so I only see what actions I want, and no meaningless errors(timeouts and such).*Smile

 

Hi,

That's not exactly what the review concludes but do as you see fit.

Did you read the entire article and the summary ?

We`ve gone over Rapid mode at Seven Forums years ago.

 

Hi,

I did read the entire article even tough its a bit old, hence my remark.

Cheers *Wink

 

agreed.
unless an SSD is being used on a very slow controller, i dont see the relevance in using RAPID at all.

 

in addition to the above, change the status of the service "optimize drives" to manual to prevent unnecessary start up during boot since it will not be used on SSD's. (MMC console, services)
edit: i dont typically like to set any services to "disabled" simply because setting them to "manual" allows the service to start in the event of a call to it, so even though "optimize drives" is set to "manual", opening (or any program calling it such as task scheduler) the GUI version of "defrag" will start the service but booting the OS will not start the service.

 

Hi,

Manual is set as default.
