    Why is Defrag Trying to Trim a Hard Drive


    I keep getting the error below that the hard drives in my desktop PC cannot be trimmed. The disks are recognised as hard drives and are being defragged on schedule. What's going on and is there a way of resetting defrag to stop this behaviour?

    :)

    Is it possible to disable the default task and create a custom task of running the following command?
