Windows 10: If have have Windows 10 2004 and it has an SSD, be aware of this bug ............

if you have.... (I can't fix the title)

"With the release of Windows 10 version 2004, the Windows Defragger has become a mess as it starts to defrag SSD drives too often, perform trim on non-SSD drives, and forgets when it last optimized a drive. "

There's a bug in 2004 .... see explanation.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...t-defragger-bug-defrags-ssd-drives-too-often/

"This is a problem, as defragging an SSD too much is not good for the drive as it could prematurely reduce its lifespan.

Until this issue is fixed, if you use an SSD drive, it is suggested that you disable the automatic drive optimization of SSD drives in Windows 10."

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
