Windows 10: how do I stop defrag running randomly and unscheduled windows 10

I am trying to reduce memory use and wear to my HDD, and windows 10 pro 64bit keep running random processes, even when the schedule is disabled. The latest is defrag, which runs randomly and unscheduled. I have read the Q&A here and the concensus is to disable it in the registry, which is what I have done. My questions are will defrag work on command with the registry entry disabled and does it effect anything else. If I want to run it by changing the 'no' to 'yes' in the registry every time I use it, is there another way to stop it running randomly?

Windows Defrag

When running defrag, there is a drive listing for Windows RE Tools. It shows as a solid state drive and that it has never been defragged. It will not optimize. Clicking on it does nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Thank you for your response. It is possible that you received the error

Windows 10 Defrag

Having a similar issue have tried running optimization ansd ran fine on the c drive but when to try and run on the system potion it goes to pass 1 then 2 in seconds and comes back 100 % fragmented but defraged the c drive cleanly ??

Have gone thru this post and SFC ran clean no errors, checked services.msc and listed itemsd are on automatic but disk defragmenter was not listed there ?? The optimization schedule is set for automatic weekly, but probably is not running since I do not
leave my pc on. My next step would be the windows performance recorder , but before go another step is it possible that this portion was not ment to be defrag ?? Or just turn off the auto schedule and would run ??

This is being done to resolve another issue which is in another post when boot up on the first try pc locks up on the black screen with the blue window, when reboot again it starts up correctly, also in sesolution have tried running chdk C:/r and when get
to 10% complete it just runs for hours, (2 hours). So thought the defrg would help solve some of these 2 issues !!

Go figure 2 step to fix anther and one issue in each step !!

Any further suggestions ??
