Troubleshooting Disk scheduler optimization set to weekly, but it never runs?

[SumTingWong]

Describe the problem

Disk scheduler optimization failed to run.

What have you tried?

none

I set scheduler disk optimization to weekly. It is 7 days now, and the scheduler haven't run yet. The last manually run on all my drives is 7/19/2018. Is it not working?

Task Sheduler service is running automatically.

Your problem got me curious, so I checked out my defrag settings. Same thing happening here, 18 days since the last defrag, and I've gone through 4-5 different security configurations in the past month. I doubt it's a conflict with software, since it is highly unlikely that all 4-5 different configurations had a problem with defrag scheduling.

run dism now... So, it seems there were some data integrity violation. Do you use huge numbers of apps on your machine? Hope, your problem gets resolved soon

Do you use huge numbers of apps on your machine? Who doesn't use huge number of apps in his/her machine?

It's unlikely we can pinpoint d culprit. btw, have you used several av product on this machine or too much uninstallation & re-installtion of av product.

yea, that's why I tried every possible combo available to me in a VM & after that choose the one & set up in my main machine. I don't get this kinda problem on my machine. Anyway, what are you gonna do now?

You just need a trophy for that. Any of these av's uninstallation caused any problem during or after the process.

@SumTingWong Just a heads up, the majority of these commands are run automatically with the Tweaking.com repair tool I linked earlier in the thread. Not a guaranteed fix, but a faster way of getting all this out of the way.

I hate when the computer goes hiccup.

A second heads up, scheduled defrag not working has been an issue dated back to 2015. Supposedly Windows decides when it is actually time for a defrag, especially with SSD TRIM (apparently they run at most once per month).

I have to get the actual correct format code here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-by-using-the-dism-or-system-update-readiness

It's
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

So it is pointless about default weekly schedule optimization Windows setup? This is so confusing like my life.

I wouldn't say entirely pointless. (I'm assuming) Windows will still analyze your drive(s) weekly, but it will decide whether a defrag is actually needed. Logically, if it analyzes 0% fragmentation in your drives, it doesn't need to defrag anything.

for some reason I didn't notice that I hadn't put any space though in the previous command I did.

he was actually getting a different problem. The scheduled task or process was getting terminated unexpectedly. That's could be because of data integrity violation.
