warns that Windows 10 version 2004 has issued with solid state disks. The built-in Windows Defragger no longer correctly records the last time a drive has been optimized, it defrags SSDs too often (which is bad for the disk's lifespan), and it performs trim on non-SSD disks.
As noted by the members at WilderSecurity, with the release of Windows 10 2004, the Optimize Drives feature is not correctly recording the last time a drive has been optimized.
Due to this, when you go back into the Windows Defragger, you will see that an SSD drive says it 'Needs Optimization' even though automatic maintenance was run this morning, as shown below.
Until this is fixed, users are recommended to turn off automatic drive optimization.
