Thanks for any help in trying to understand what it was doing. It does run the trim command automatically though, every week or so. Can someone explain to me what exactly it was doing for at least 5 minutes? This is a new PC (3 months) with a clean install of 1607 and have installed very little software, it definitely did not need a defrag and the optimize drives windows always shows OK, has never showed that it needed optimization. I did some searching on this and some say that Windows never/ and that you should never defrag a SSD and others say it does, possibly in a different way that it defrags a HDD. WTF? I thought this was turned off with SSDs? Event ID # 258, "the storage optimizer successfully completed defragmentation on Window C:" and also the same message with WinRE_DRV. I then opened the event viewer and found out that Windows had defragged my SSD. I noticed that the optimize/trim command was run but that only takes a few seconds so I know that wasn't just that, also I noticed that available drive space had decreased by a few GB which I always used to notice when running defrag on a HDD and after a week or so of regular use it would go back to what it was before. I left it alone until it finished whatever it was doing which took at least 5 minutes, I then tried to find out what was going on. I have never seen that ever, even during/after Windows Updates. When I got off the phone I noticed that my hard drive indicator light was solidly on. I started my PC last night and got a phone call so I left it unattended for about 10 minutes.
