Disk Optimization IS NOT Running Automatically Properly

Question

Eddie, recall my stressing the importance of showing last run date in thread for disk optimization. Not positive if this started with 19042.508 /546

First noticed this in my main system last week running 20H2 (non-insider). Disk Optimization is not running automatically, had about 13 days showing last run, settings are at default to run weekly. Did a manual run back last week.

This snapshot is from a virtual machine 20H2 that I test software on daily. Both devices are kept current with builds.

This snapshot is from my main system today. Have to give it couple more days to verify and will file a FBH report at that time and update this thread. Please advise if there is anything else I can add with FBH report.

Regards,

Answer 1

It does appear there may be an issue we need to investigate in regards to the last analyzed or optimized date. On the issue of scheduled settings not being retained after restart, please submit a separate feedback item in Feedback Hub.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Eddie for clarification. It was another poster that mentioned scheduled settings not being retained and that he had filed reports.

I cannot confirm this issue as it apparently is retaining scheduled settings for over 10 devices that I have kept an eye on.

Leave this up to MrMikeH to file another report and post the link here.

Regards,

Here is the link to my feedback regarding the Optimize Drives settings not being retained between builds.

Reply to Eddies post on optimization 

The frequency of this task just means it will perform those check at that frequency but the defrag service may choose to not run the optimization on a volume.

That's fine, but if it doesn't run the optimization because of the checks, then the Days since last optimization should be updated as if an optimization was run. That way, people won't be confused when you schedule it daily, but the days still say 0 since last optimization.
