News Intel's SSD Toolbox Has Reached End of Life, New Tool Introduced

Several weeks before end of life for the toolbox utility, it began failing when I would try to optimize my Intel SSD's.
When I uninstalled and replaced with the newer Intel Memory and Storage Tool, that program was able to update the firmware on one of my Intel SSD's. The 'optimize' function, however, would always fail on all Intel SSD's.
I have resorted to using the built in Windows 'trim' function as I don't know what else to do.
