    Question about Windows 10 Automatic Maintenance


    TL;DR Will automatic maintenance defrag my SSD?

    I'm running Windows 10 2004 19041.450. I'm thinking about running automatic maintenance at the end of each day to keep my system updated without having to go through the hassle of doing it myself. I'm concerned because I've read automatic maintenance will defrag your disk, but I'm running on an ssd, so I don't want it defragged. I've heard recently that a bug was found in the Windows drive optimizer that unnecessarily defragged ssds. Will my drive be defragged during automatic maintenance?

    Questions about Automatic Maintenance

    I am not sure if there is a better name for Automatic Maintenance, I am referring to Control Panel > System and Security > Security and Maintenance > Maintenance > Automatic Maintenance.

    How I know defragmentation is part of Automatic Maintenance:

    • Open Defragmenter.
    • Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Security and Maintenance > Maintenance > Automatic Maintenance.
    • Start Maintenance.
    • Go back to defragmenter, you will see it starts running.
    Since Automatic Maintenance will try to run during idle time and defragmentation is part of it, my HDD is being (partially) defragmented everyday. Is it harmful to my HDD?

    Can I have a tray icon for automatic maintenance windows 10

    On windows 8.1 it did always a windows defender scan with automatic maintenance, since I'm using defender on this 10 laptop, I think it will scan on this laptop as well when it does maintenance.
