Windows 10 SSD AUTO Trim?

Anonymous
2024-01-07T14:02:14+00:00

Windows' SSD Auto-Trim Setting is set to Once a Week. It's been 21 days and the SSDs still haven't been trimmed. It has done it to HDDs but not to SSDs for 21 days. The setting is set to Once a week. Doesn't he normally have to do this anyway? Does he do it when necessary?

I guess no one has an opinion on the subject.

    Glad it works after setting it manually, you can try setting the time a little shorter and see if it runs automatically, like a week or a day. In addition, modern versions of Windows basically do not rely on disk defragmentation to optimize your running speed, because most system disks are SSDs, and SSDs generate very little fragmentation, and they will basically be cleaned up by themselves (but not Not via AUTO Trim)

    Disk defragmentation is an early solution for HDDs, and even if it doesn't run, it won't affect your daily use.

    If you have any other questions I can help you with, feel free to ask ;)

    I left the system idle for a while. A: The usage percentage on your disk has increased. I think it starts running the process but it doesn't seem to continue because it's not necessary. Do you think the person behind is starting the process at this point?

    I went into the parts you mentioned in order. There does not appear to be any abnormal situation. The cropping process was last done yesterday, but I think it was done to the HDD. It has not been done to the SSDs in the system for about 22 days. I shared the photos of the parts you mentioned below, I have never changed the settings in this part before. But if there is any problem please let me know. Thanks.

    Hello,Ahmet-Furkan57

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    It seems you're referring to the Windows 10 Automatic TRIM feature for SSDs (Solid State Drives). Normally, TRIM commands help to maintain the performance of the SSD by letting the drive know which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally.

    If you've noticed that your SSD hasn't been trimmed in 21 days, despite the setting being configured for weekly TRIM operations, there could be a few reasons:

    • Manual vs. Automatic TRIM: Even if automatic TRIM is set, if the system doesn't think it's necessary, it might not perform the operation. The system's algorithms might determine that the SSD doesn't need trimming at that time.
    • Power and Usage Conditions: TRIM may not operate if the system isn't on or in the right state (like idle or low usage) when the scheduled task tries to run. Sometimes, if it is a laptop, the built-in computer manager or additional power optimization software will interfere with disk defragmentation. Of course, the power plan may also be related.
    • Task Scheduler Issues: The Windows Task Scheduler, which handles automatic TRIM, could have an error or misconfiguration.

    Here are some steps of checking the Automatic TRIM operation through the Windows Task Scheduler, see:

    1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog, type taskschd.msc, and press Enter.
    2. In the Task Scheduler, go to the Task Scheduler Library in the left pane.
    3. Navigate through the library: Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Defrag.
    4. In the middle pane, you should see a task named ScheduledDefrag.
    5. Click on this task to highlight it. With the ScheduledDefrag task highlighted, select the Triggers tab in the lower middle pane. As shown here:

    6. Also, check the Actions tab to ensure that the action is to start the defrag program. 7. In the Conditions tab, there might be conditions that need to be met for the task to run (like the computer being idle). 8. You can see the "Last Run Time" in the top middle pane to see when the task was last executed.

    Please try to check if there is any other software in History that interferes with its operation. If the operation is interfered with, please share it with me.

    Let me know the status.
