Windows 10: Stopping optimization

Dear Microsoft,


I have been switching back and forth between Linux Ubuntu and you guys, so anyway I decided to stay with Windows 10. As a user I am actually very happy with it. But mother of all that is good and holy, what exactly are you doing with storage spaces ? I have decided to create a storage pool, to balance home videos etc. I was very happy with it. Now it has been stuck at 99% optimizing for 9-10 hours, and I made the dreadful mistake of clicking stop optimization. Now I am stuck at stopping optimization. As a IT professional, it is frustrating but I can live with it. BUT what happens if my storage pool needs rebalancing again ?????? I tried restarting computer, unplugging external HDD's, renaming the pool, obviously anything to change that dreadful state of :


PS C:\Windows\system32> get-storagejob


Name IsBackgroundTask ElapsedTime JobState PercentComplete BytesProcessed BytesTotal

---- ---------------- ----------- -------- --------------- -------------- ----------

Stupid storage pool-Rebalance True 4006.13:12:48 Shutting Down 0 0 B 256 MB


I googled and followed most of the advice I have read, stop by uniqueid etc. Nothing works. Are you serious ? a 100 billion dollar company and ou cannot find a way to stop a running process different kill levels, stop force, immed kill etc ???


I do NOT have the time and patience to move all my data AGAIN , delete the storage pool and recreate it God knows why I would ever trust Microsoft with anything other than email and web browsing .

So, please. Tell me, how do i force stop this job ?
