I checked, my drives had never been optimized. I just did it now, to be sure, only took a few seconds.

mine either, 2 SSD's 2 NVMes no optimizations run. It was enabled.

I know I do. The only exception is I don't apply feature updates right away, because frankly I rarely care and also I like having one available in case an app fucks up my registry (which happens every now and then). I"m sure I could do a repair, but by the time it happens, I'm generally close to running out of time for applying the update. Pretty sure the last one was caused by a program I used to update drivers.

yeah, dont use them. take a few minutes to manually d/l them. "apps" shouldnt be "fucking up your registry". stop using stupid "apps or tools" and you wont have that problem.
