Windows 10: Optimize and Defrag Drives in Windows 10

Nar, I knew you would. *Smile

 

Shawn did a reg check with CC before I am shutting down and this is what I get not the usual small stuff so would you leave this alone??

Hmm attachment not working might try tomorrow.

 

Those seem pretty harmless, but I don't trust any registry cleaner 100%.

 

OK mate I wasn't concerned re the unused stuff more that there was something amiss in theb.NET stuff.

I'll leave alone then*Smile

 

[deleted] I wasn't seeing the "Optimize Drives" windows but only because another was blocking it. Thanks for the very good thread.

 

Hello @Norax, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.

 

Windows 10 seems to think my RAID 0 HDDs are an SSD?

Odd.

Does it defrag the drive using the command below instead?

defrag G:

 

Dear Brink.
Thanks for this theared, i did it every week with my ssd samsung eve pro.

Thanks.

 

Hello and welcome louislolitta now if I am reading this right you are using defrag on an SSD?? if so you should not because the TRIM function will do a similar function.

If you ant my advice don't use the Samsung Magicain software either because it can cause problems also. For example one of my desktops lost all USB ports and I searched for ages for an answer and was put in the picture by another member who had seen this before. So I have removed that software from all machines using Samsung SSD's or I would have still been looking for an answer now. *Wink

 

I've not heard of Magician causing any issues and I have it installed on two computers.

 

Yes well I suppose it is the luck of the draw but the issue I had I spent over nine month trying to rectify that USB port issue and it was pure luck another member had seen this happen before and to be honest I could see on real benefits form using their software it look very good but nothing you cannot do much yourself.
But each to his own *Wink

 

Thanks so much for your advand. Really big thanks for this information.

 

Interesting what shows up in resource monitor when you re-trim(optimize) your SSD's:

Is W10 failing to optimise SSD's still a known bug ?

Each clean install I have done (Anniversary, Creators and Fall Creators) seems to behave like this to some extent, although I've never had one go this long without it operating.

Although set to 'Weekly', it has now been over a month since I last manually ran the Optimise routine.
