Optimize SSD via PowerShell ?

RejZoR · June 3, 2020

The SSD optimization in Windows 10 behaves weird. It's set to "Weekly" yet it shows last optimization was 30+ days ago and even says Optimization Needed. And even if I set it to "Daily", it just doesn't perform the bloody optimizations. I have to manually run the damn thing and it's really annoying. And without it, I really notice dramatic slowdown of my ASUS Transformer which runs with eMMC memory. After doing optimization, it becomes quite snappy again.

So, is there any PowerShell command that does the SSD optimization like the "Optimize Drives" GUI tool in Windows 10? So I could just schedule it on my terms and be sure it'll run when it's scheduled, not like with random scheduler in GUI that doesn't seem to obey a damn thing. I can't seem to find it, everything is pointing to old guides from years ago where you had to manually enable TRIM for SSD's... I need specific commands for PowerShell/CMD. Thx
