    Windows just won't stop defraging my SSD


    Just this week yesterday, I found out that windows had a bug from YouTube that always defrags the SSD when restart/booting up from shut down.

    No wonder my SSD always gets hot after I booted up the PC, after its done all of its defragmenting the SSD cools down again


    But I've already filled a little over 1 TB of data in to the drive, who knows how many times the defragmenting has been done. However, I did disable the scheduling for disk optimization even before I knew about the bug so I can defrag the hard drives myself. Yet it still doing the defragmenting just now.


    Is there really no way of stopping the defragmenting from running?

    :)

    Defragmenting SSD

    Hello everyone! Should I use the Windows 10 built-in Disk Defragmentation to defragment my SSD? Some internet sources suggest that SSDs should never be defragmented.

    Defragment & SSD

    Hi.

    I have installed a Samsung SSD 850 Evo on a Windows 10 build 10.0.14393.

    In the Defragment software, I saw "trimmed" instead of "defragmented".

    What is trim? Is it necessary to run defragment on SSD?

    Running defragment makes any problem to SSD or not?

    Thank you.

    Windows just won't stop defraging my SSD

    Stop windows from defragmenting my SSD!!!

    Hi Bob I get this all the time when I teach the Windows 10 course and I will tell you what I tell my students.

    Yes, Windows does put all your drives even if they are SSD in the Weekly defrag schedule.

    However, Windows will NOT defrag an SSD weekly, at the most it does this once a month. And you are right that SSD drives don't get fragmented as often but they still can get fragmented. So the defrag utility will first check to see if if requires a defrag before
    defraging. It actually does that on all types of drives.

    And for SSD drives it doesn't do the same "traditional defrag" as with HDD drives.

    It actually uses a TRIM feature to defrag SSD drives.

    So you don't need to disable it all. I have a laptop that has a SSD drive and it has been running Windows 10 for 2 years with defrag enabled it is absolutely fine.

    I hope this helps. Take care.
