Windows 10: Turn Off Drive Optimization/Defragmentation

I need to turn completely turn off drive optimization. In "Optimize Drive" I did turn off scheduled optimization. Even so, optimization/defragmentation WAS performed, anyway. I have assumed this is due to "Automatic Maintenance", and a search showed me how to make a registry change, stopping this function. I guess the problem is solved, except I'm not satisfied, as this also turns off some valuable, routine maintenance/update functions. Is there a way to permanently stoponly the optimize/defragment process?

Hard Drive Optimization/Defragmentation

Hello, all. I'm having an issue where I can't defragment/optimize my hard drive. I am able to successfully initiate the defragementation/optimization process from the built-in defragmenter program, but when it finishes I still see the "Needs Optimization"
message, as if nothing happened. What's going on?

 

Disk optimization and defragmentation

Hi,

It is basically the same thing.

Microsoft decided to change the name.

Defragment your hard disk

One of the best ways to help improve your device’s performance is
by optimizing the hard drive. Optimize Drives, previously known as Disk Defragmenter, is a Windows feature that helps optimize different types of drives. The feature runs automatically on a weekly schedule, but you can
also run Optimize Drives manually

Cheers.

 

Disk optimization and defragmentation

Is disk optimization and defragmentation the same thing? And if not what is the difference?
