Can't enable TRIM on my Dell XPS 13 L322X SSD?
I can't enable TRIM on my Dell XPS 13 L322X SSD?
I ran in command prompt as administrator:
fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0
I got this message when I tried to enable it in Command Prompt.

This is a six year old XPS that was running Win 7, which I upgraded to Win 10 Pro.

The "Access is denied" error is because you didn't start Command Prompt with elevated privileges, i.e. you need to right-click it and select "Run as administrator". When you do that, the Command Prompt title bar will say "Administrator: Command Prompt" rather than just "Command Prompt". However, the query command you ran first indicates that the setting you're trying to set to 0 is already set to 0, so setting it to 0 again won't change anything. TRIM is already enabled. The double negative wording makes it a bit confusing, but the setting is called "DisableDeleteNotify". When that setting is disabled, it means that delete notifications are enabled, which means TRIM is on.

I ran Command Prompt as "Run as administrator" and got this:
So I'm good then?

@william66, unfortunately images are initially only visible to the person who uploaded them and to Dell moderators until they get "approved" for broader viewing, so I can't yet see the new image you posted, but as I already explained above, you were good even before you did anything because TRIM was already enabled. There was absolutely no need to run a command to set an option the way the system clearly indicated it was already set.

It's visible now. And yes, it confirms that you successfully set DisableDeleteNotify to 0, which was how it was already set. So you're good, just as you already were.
