22.5.2.15 - Disk Optimization setting

Update 22.5.2.15 received and after reboot the Norton icon in the task tray was red ticked as Norton required my attention to running Disk Optimization which I had disabled in v22.5.0.124 and remained disabled in the 22.5.2.15 Update.  I rebooted  switched off my machine in the hope this would fix it but it didn’t help. I had to let Norton run Disk Optimization to get back the green ticked icon in the task tray.
So, how much does my setting matter?
Note however that this time Disk Optimization took only a couple of minutes, while in the past, when the task was still checked,  it lasted longer (15-20 minutes?).
