Windows 10 2004 optimization/defrag bug
Hi all
I've just completed the Windows 10 2004 upgrade and I have noticed 2 issues.
- 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.
- 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.

2020-07-15T14:11:32+00:00 the defrag / optimization bug is still NOT yet fixed, even with the newly released KB4565503 cumulative update for 2004 in mid-July. disappointing to say the least :(
guess we'll have to wait for either a future non-security fix later this month or the next cumulative update in August to see if the problem would be fixed then
this is one of the results when MS fired much of their QA team several years ago - quality of new recent Win10 releases have not been good when first released to the public
Optimize drive bug issues Already fixed In Windows 10 Build 19551 (Windows Insider Preview).
Here are the release notes:
General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC
- We fixed an issue resulting in snipping not working on secondary monitors.
- Thank you for reporting that the Optimize Drives Control Panel was incorrectly showing that optimization didn't run on some devices. We’ve fixed it in this build.
- We've fixed an issue causing Remote Desktop Connection to crash when attempting to connect to multiple sessions.
- We've made a server-side fix to the address of the issue causing Narrator Home to crash when selecting the "What's New" button in Narrator Home.
- We fixed an issue that could result in the default language listed at the top of the Language Settings unexpectedly being blank.
- We've done some work to help address feedback reports that screenshots (WIN + Shift + S) pasted into Outlook would be unexpectedly large.
- We fixed an issue where, if you changed the candidate pane font for the Pinyin IME, it would reset back to default after you reboot your PC.
- We fixed an issue resulting in the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the notification area sometimes unexpectedly drawing in white (making it unreadable) when using the light theme.
Known issues
- BattleEye and Microsoft have found incompatibility issues due to changes in the operating system between some Insider Preview builds and certain versions of BattleEye anti-cheat software. To safeguard Insiders who might have these versions installed on their PC, we have applied a compatibility hold on these devices from being offered affected builds of Windows Insider Preview. See this article for details.
- We are aware Narrator and NVDA users that seek the latest release of Microsoft Edge based on Chromium may experience some difficulty when navigating and reading certain web content. Narrator, NVDA and the Edge teams are aware of these issues. Users of legacy Microsoft Edge will not be affected. NVAccess has released a beta of NVDA that resolves the known issue with Edge. Further information can also be found in the In Process blog post that goes into more detail about the beta.
- The cloud recovery option for Reset this PC isn't working on this build. Please use the local reinstall option when performing Reset this PC.
- We 're looking into reports of the process update hanging for extended periods of time when attempting to install a new build.
- We're investigating reports that some Insiders are unable to update to newer builds with errors 0x8007042b.
- We're looking into reports that some Insiders are unable to update to newer builds with errors 0xc1900101.
- We're looking into reports of certain external USB 3.0 drives not responding with Start Code 10 after they're attached.
- The Documents section under Privacy has a broken icon (just a rectangle).
- The IME candidate window for East Asian IMEs (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and the Japanese IME) may not open sometimes. We are investigating your reports. As a workaround if you encounter this, please change the focus to another application or editing area and back to the original and try again. Alternatively, you can go to Task Manager and end the "TextInputHost.exe" task from the Details tab, and it should work afterwards.
- [ADDED] There is an ARM64 device impacting issue from updating to this build successfully. A fix will be coming soon in a future flight.
