Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 here. I must be missing something. When I go to 'Optimize' my SSD Windows says it's 'Trimming' NOT 'Defragmenting'(?) I've never seen my OS defragment my SSD. Trimming is useful in preventing the SSD from having to perform extra erase functions on cells before performing a write function. Was this a bug introduced in a new version of Windows 10?

Comment ODAA - Other Duties as Assigned (Score 1) 355

IT peps regularly have to take on the roles of administering anything that uses electricity. audio/video, security (doors and cameras), telecom, you name it. "If it powers on then the IT guys should automatically be masters at using it, right?" It's hard enough being just the desktop/systems/network engineer, as that job usually ropes in everything from IT purchasing manager, to software engineer, to web dev.
