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

should be like you say, but because of this is defraging my SSD, my 2 new SSD have already 6 times it capacity write to them....
There are several issues in the past, which causes a permanent write to SSD, not just this, for example a bug in Spotify, or Chrome for example, causing a write of 50GB or even more per day.
Turn off Defragment. Run by hand every now and then. No damage to your SSD, problem solved. Today, modern systems and their SSD and Hard Drives Don't need to be defragged as often.
I hope this helps, and if you need any further assistance, please post, and we will be glad to assist you.

Can you read? Can you think? Defrag tool WONT defrag a SSD, it just sends TRIM, no defrag happening.
not using a function that is there to make the computer better, is not a fix to the problem, i just think the problem is that defrag is not storing the last time the defrag run on the SSD, should be a simple fix, probrably a permission on a file or something, but just because of that, a lot of people who dont know anything about computer will lose their SSD sooner

Really? then kindly explain why initiating "Maintenance" starts with the message " defrag ... etc" also if the drive is SSD, it has been mentioned here ad nauseam .. or did they get program messages FUBAR at MS as well?
