Windows 8.1 maintenance on a SSD

[Zabraxis]

Hello

I got an SSD last week and installed windows 8.1 Pro. My question is in regards to the Windows 8.1 maintenance task that runs when a PC is idle. Maintenance ran on my PC and after it ran I opened the defragmentation utility in Windows 8.1 and it looked like the task had defragmented my SSD. My question is did the maintenance task defragment my SSD and should I disable maintenance?

Step 1 — Exclude SSD from automatic maintenance

Note. If all your drives are SSDs, you should skip Step 1, and disable the ScheduledDefrag task after Step 2.

Open the disk optimizer (dfrgui):

Press "Change Settings".
Press "Choose" and remove checkboxes from SSD volumes.
