Disabling Defragmentation for SSDs

PowerShell Script

If (((Get-PhysicalDisk).MediaType -match "SSD") -or ((Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root/microsoft/windows/storage" -class msft_physicaldisk).mediatype -match "4")) {
    Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "ScheduledDefrag" | Disable-ScheduledTask
}

Steps to Use the Script

1. Open PowerShell

Open PowerShell with administrative rights. Type PowerShell in the search bar, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and select Run as administrator.

2. Run the Script

Copy the script into a PowerShell file, e.g., DisableDefragForSSD.ps1, and run it.

.\DisableDefragForSSD.ps1

This script will check for SSDs and disable the scheduled defragmentation task if any are found.
