    Windows 10 & Optimize Drives schedule

    Hello,

    I'm using Windows 10 (version 1909, OS build 18363.900 - latest available for my PC), which is installed on a Kingston A400 SSD. As well known, the SSD needs to be trimmed (optimized) weekly. Windows have that Optimize Drives tool (the old Defragmenter)
    which can do this. Unfortunately, even if the schedule is turned on and set to weekly, nothing happens. It says that the SSD was optimized 23 days ago. Why the weekly schedule doesn't work? I have to say that if I set that to monthly, the tool perfectly optimizes
    the SSD monthly. How can I fix this, to force Windows to trim the SSD weekly?

    Thank you!

    Disabling SSD Scheduled optimization (Defragmentation)

    I've read that one of the hints to increase the SSD's lifespan and to prevent losing data is through:

    Optimize Drives / Scheduled optimization / Off (Disable).

    Is that true? Can disabling the scheduled optimization frequency (e.g. weekly) prevent early damage of SSD?

    What about the opposite? Can Disabling this function be more harmful than beneficial?

    Please advise me.
