    Defragment and Optimise Drives default ?


    Windows 10 Defragment and Optimise Drives is working daily, even though it has been set to weekly for several years. I have a 445GB SSD, which has been working Optimising OK, up until the latest update. Is this a known problem?

    " Defragment and Optimise Drives "

    So I can under the " defragment and optimise drives " box, optimise my SSD safely because it is only running the TRIM command and NOT defragging the SSD correct ?

    Side note, it says for my SSD, Current Status - Needs optimisation (376 days since last run)

    You are certain that it is not going to defrag the SSD, it is only going to run the TRIM ?

    " Defragment and Optimise Drives "

    Hi,

    First of all, I would like to describe the laptop that I have. I have an 128gb SSD which holds the OS on it and a 1 terabyte HDD which I use for all my programs, documents, music, videos etc etc, both came with the laptop. Now I know its safe and normal
    to defrag a HDD which I do probably 1 every 2 to 3 months but for the solid state drive I don't know what to do. When you search for defrag, the defrag and optimise box appears and shows both of my drives. For the SSD it won't give me the option to " analyse
    " but it does give me the option to " optimise ". Now does optimise mean defragmentation or does it actually mean optimise because those 2 words mean completely different things when were talking about HDD and SSD's.

    Does optimisation mean defragmentation under the " defragment and optimise drives " ?

    ( Side note, I am perfectly aware defragging a SSD is very bad due to its finite number of write cycles, there is also a lot of discussion online about not defragging an SSD because it doesn't need it ).

    Defragment and Optimise Drives

    Hi All,

    When I go in to the services app in my Windows 10 HE, Defrag and Optimise Drives is not listed as a service. Also when I type in the search bar to bring up the app, nothing happens other than a very quick blink. I could go a cmd line, but I don't actually
    need to defrag, I am just doing a course at the moment. Could someone please advise?

    Thank you

    Tim
