Win10 bootoptimization
Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2019 8:40 am
Win 10 wants to run its bootoptimization program (defrag.exe) as part of its Automatic Maintenance feature. Unfortunately (for me), it seems not to recognize when IFW Backup is active, causing IFW to fail due to cache exhaustion. The system is running 24x7, the backup is automated and has adequate cache as long as Win10 doesn't decide to run defrag on top of IFW Backup. Automatic Maintenance is configured for an interval many hours away from the backup time, yet it still runs bootoptimization randomly in a 24 hour period even though there are "system entering sleep" entries in the System Log for the interval and Automatic Maintenance is supposed to run only when the system is idle.
