Windows 10: What's defragment consolidation on Windows 10?

Put simply, the consolidation phase takes longer than it would to disassemble my laptop. Not that I've tried.

Someone TELL ME what this means, and no links. They have NEVER helped me.


Thanks.

Windows Defrag

When running defrag, there is a drive listing for Windows RE Tools. It shows as a solid state drive and that it has never been defragged. It will not optimize. Clicking on it does nothing. Any suggestions?

Defrag

Windows 10 defrag.exe will defragment HDD, optimize SSD (issue trim) and perform slab consolidation on VHD. SSDs are also automatically defragmented monthly if you have system restore configured. Source

@no1yak - what does it say under task scheduler?
