    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?

    How to defrag my hard drive in windows 10?

    External SATA3 SSD to USB (512GB Crucial MX100 SSD) showing up as a Hard drive in Windows 10 Defragment and optimize drives?

    Hi Anup,

    Thanks for your suggestions. I ran the Hardware and Devices trouble shooter and it did find a problem with my

    Bluetooth adapter (despite the fact that I've never used it and have no Bluetooth devices). I reinstalled and/or

    fixed all three ASUS G751JY notebook Windows 10 drivers successfully. However, the external 512GB Crucial MX100

    SATA3 to USB3.0 SSD remains listed as hard disc drive on Windows 10 Defragment and Optimize drives feature.

    I also tried your second suggestion and ran the DISM using Command Prompt (Admin.).

    It returned a Windows 10 latest build 100% system image health. The external 512GB Crucial MX100 SATA3 to USB3.0

    SSD still comes up as a hard disc drive in Defragment and Optimize drives Windows 10, Control Panel feature.
