Hard drive ssd optimized mot available

[MMirna]

Performed system fast and extensive test and each time it comes back with Hard drive/SSD optimized DST check; not available. Laptop it’s out of warranty but it’s  3+ years old

What prompted you to do the test? Is it performing badly? Generally if the test will not run consider it the same as an error code. 

[MMirna]

I did it based on what I read on Google recommendations. Because while I was working on a PDF it’s shut me down. So just testing to make sure that I don’t have a virus or any complications

[MMirna]

And it wasn’t the first time it freezes up and won’t let me reboot it or shut down properly

[MMirna]

Whenever I do a restart it gets stuck and I have to do a hard press the power button to get it to shut down.

Those are things that would be symptoms of a failing hard drive. You need to replace it. Post back if you need help with details on how to proceed.
