Hi. I installed Hard disk sentinel. The soft tells me i dont have trim enabled , yet if i check it in dos command mode, its saying it is enabled.
The Task optimizer is showing only D drive being optimized... but nothing about C
At someone`s sugestion , i tried
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -ReTrim -verbose" VERBOSE: Invoking retrim on (C:)... Optimize-Volume : Failed Activity ID: {4b02f223-ff72-4a6a-94ee-f94eab4cb285} At line:1 char:1 + Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -ReTrim -verbose + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (StorageWMI:ROOT/Microsoft/...age/MSFT_Volume) [Optimize-Volume], CimExcep
tion
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : StorageWMI 4,Optimize-Volume

You can see a screenshot here : SSD TRIM

From my undrestanding, only C : is not auto-trimmed . D is ok ...

hmm that command is trying to run defrag service which isnt running, you can check defrag service with this command:
Get-Service -DisplayName 'Optimize drives'
it should be telling you that service is stopped, you can manualy enable it...but dunno if that will do anything to your drive at all

optimize-volume:
  • HDD, Fixed VHD, Storage Space. -Analyze -Defrag.
  • Tiered Storage Space. -TierOptimize.
  • SSD with TRIM support. -Retrim.
  • Storage Space (Thinly provisioned), SAN Virtual Disk (Thinly provisioned), Dynamic VHD, Differencing VHD. -Analyze - SlabConsolidate -Retrim.
  • SSD without TRIM support, Removable FAT, Unknown. No operation.
can you post picture from crystaldiskinfo with your drive?

Open the optimize app.
Click on the change settings button.
Is the C drive a selectable option?
