Here’s a timeline of how the bug was discovered and acknowledged: With Windows 10 KB4571756 (Build 19041.508), Microsoft has finally resolved the issues with Drive Optimize tool and Windows will stop defragging your SSDs automatically on every reboot. Microsoft patches the SSD defragger bug in September 2020 update The problem about this flaw, though, is that the Automatic Maintenance feature could end up defragging your SSDs on every reboot because the built-in defrag tool doesn’t correctly report that it’s already done scheduled defragmentation on your SSD. If you try to optimize the already optimized drive, the process will finish instantly and Windows won’t make any changes to the drives. The tool could warn you that your storage is unoptimized when it is not. With May 2020 Update (version 2004), Microsoft broke the Optimize Drives (aka defragmentation tool) and the defrag tool was unable to flag that it’s already done a scheduled optimization on your SSD. The Automatic Maintenance feature relies on the “Optimize Drives” tool to see if the drives need to optimized (defragged when required).
