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.

It doesn't appear to be shown in known issue, so we'll have to wait and see.

feedback submitted. I had to condense it to make it fit, however I included a screenshot
I have the same issue with defrag. It's a bug that many insiders reported to Microsoft, even before 2004 was rolled out to the general public.
There is not much you can do at the moment, just hope that they will fix it soon. Do not carry out a manual maintenance, because, as you noticed, your SSD will be defragged, which is bad for SSDs.
I've reported it via the feedback hub, perhaps you could report it also. The more that report it the better.
I have never had this issue before build 2004, I'm on the insiders list but staying on retail builds. I've also not seen that using "dfrgui" the defrag window is actually trying to defragment the SSD. When I use manually use "optimize" it says "n% trimmed" but the status is not kept, right after that when leaving and restarting dfrgui it says "needs optimization".
I got build 19041.264 installed on April 17th ... I mentioned this problem (and a few others) in the feedback hub, without getting feedback :-)

I'm only seeing this issue if I go to Control Panel>Security and Maintenance and run the maintenance manually.
If you run the maintenance Control Panel>Security and Maintenance while also having the Optimize drives (defrag/optimize drives) open you will see it defrag then trim right in front of you.
You will only see it of you have both open at same time and do manual maintenance via Control Panel>Security and Maintenance. You will catch Windows doing it. Open Control Panel>Security and Maintenance and Optimize drives side by side and run manual maintenance (Control Panel>Security and Maintenance) and you will see it defrag briefly and then trim.
If you just open 'Optimize drives' only and select optimize then it will just trim it only.

You are actually saying that "defrag" on an SSD takes less time than a trim operation?
Edit: Indeed when passing through "Security & Maintenance" it is doing a full defrag operation but it is anything but a brief message, it it going through the "full-all passes procedure" ... weird and worrying
