Windows 10 2004 optimization/defrag bug

Hi all

I've just completed the Windows 10 2004 upgrade and I have noticed 2 issues.

  1. When I manually trim my SSD in the drive defrag/optimize tool in windows and I reboot it says 'never optimized' when i go back. I heard this was a bug in insider preview which they obviously didn't fix. 
  2. I happened to have the defrag/optimize tool open at the same time as Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Security and Maintenance, I initiated a manual maintenance and I caught windows defragging my SSD and then it trimmed it straight afterwards. If i click the optimize button in defrag/optimize tool it only trims it and not defrag.

This seem to only happen when Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Security and Maintenance initiates its automatic maintenance or if I select start maintenance.

This is concerning as it should never attempt to defrag an SSD.

My laptop is only a few months old and came with a PCIe SSD and Windows 10 1909 so there is no compatibility or lack of trim support issues obviously.

I have disabled scheduled weekly optimizations in the defrag/optimize tool which prevents it from attempting to defrag when the control penal maintenance attempts its maintenance when the computer is idle.

I want to let everyone know that this is happening so others are aware. My other computers that have the latest update are also doing it.

    Sorry. I checked manually via the button "Check for updates" in Windows Update yesterday was the same. Except Definition Update For Microsoft Defender Antivirus. I'm sure it will be released this week or next week.

    FYI: I check for Updates Periodically Everyday Including Microsoft Store And Microsoft Defender Antivirus. And even if I missed Microsoft OneDrive Update for example. I still have PatchMyPC Home Updater running automatically through the Task Scheduler at 7:00 p.m.

    Thanks.

    All I want to know is the KB number if this update that supposedly came out yesterday and resolved this issue? Can we confirm it's been released? My computer certainly didn't get anything new, according to my Update History.

    No it hasn't been released yet.

    No patch on 18th as suggested, not in Europe ...

    Hello. sorry I just read it and do not understand what contains politics, for example. if the other I understand a little bit.

    For example: the binary number 0 means off while 1 means on.

    Abbreviation: IPv4 = Internet Protocol Version 4

    DNS = Domain Name Server

    FTP = File Transfer Protocol

    I / O = Output / Input

    etc. (I don't mention everything because there are hundreds or even thousands)

    That is all. Thanks.
