    What does Drive Optimization mean?


    I noticed under Drive Tools that both my drives are scheduled for Weekly Drive Optimization.

    I have a SSD, C:\, and a HDD, D:\.

    Defrag is not recommended for SSD's, but Drive Optimization isn't Defined.

    Does anybody know what Drive Optimization means in Win 10?

    :)

    Win 10 Disk Optimization program doesn't work.

    After the Anniversary upgrade, Disk Optimization does not optimize per it's schedule. My C Drive is an SSD, my Data D: Drive is an HDD. the HDD optimizes automatically, as per the schedule. The C: Drive does not. It just says "OK" and the date it last
    optimized. Also, "Analyze" is greyed out for the SSD, so I can't analyze. It is not greyed out for the D: HDD.

    Can someone explain what is happening?

    What does Drive Optimization mean?

    This is Microsoft's definition of Drive Optimization, from a Win 8 page:

    One of the best ways you can improve your PC's performance is by optimizing the drive. Windows includes features to help optimize the different types of drives that PCs use today. No matter which type of drive your PC uses, Windows automatically chooses the optimization that's right for your drive.Be default, Optimize Drives, previously called Disk Defragmenter, runs automatically on a weekly schedule. But you can also optimize drives on your PC manually.

    The question is, will Win 10 Defrag my SSD?
    The approve statement says Windows will do what's best for the Drive Type.
