"Optimize Drives" scheduling issue
I have an Inspiron 15-7569 laptop. Windows 10 home. Relatively new computer, but I really like it so far now that I have everything dialed in!
One thing though that doesn't appear to be working properly is the scheduled optimize/trim isn't working as I have it scheduled. I'm not referring to defrag as I am aware that should not be done on an SSD, but optimize/trim as this laptop has a 256GB Solid State Drive.
I have it set to perform this task with a frequency of MONTHLY, but it isn't happening. I recently let it go over 40 days as a test and it didn't perform this task. At the bottom of the OPTIMIZE DRIVE page, it does correctly show that I have the frequency as MONTHLY and says that DRIVES ARE BEING OPTIMIZED AUTOMATICALLY, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
It does let me perform the task manually, but it would be nice to just set it and forget it as it apparently is designed to do.
Does anybody know what might be going on and how I can correct it? Thank you!
It's really only the C partition that I would like to see optimized periodically. And yes, I did check and,the C partition is set and scheduled to optimize on the programmed schedule. But it isn't happening.
On the advice of the author of the article that Mary provided me a link to, I opened a Command Prompt window and ran the “fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify” command. The author states that If it’s set to “0”, TRIM is enabled and everything is good. Mine is set to "0", but there still appears to be an issue.
Could I live with it as is and run optimize manually? Sure, and I may have to. But as I see that the option to automize this procedure exists, I would like to use it if I can. Thank you for your replies!
