Automatic maintenance to Windows 10 is like food supplements to our body. Read after the jump to know what it actually is and how you can turn on / turn off automatic maintenance in Windows 10.
Over the past 100 years or so, the world has progressed beyond our wildest imagination. Things that seemed unbelievable are now easily available to us. One of the things inventors and scientists sought to do while inventing things was to bring automation as this would lead to less to no human input but the output would be achieved without sacrificing an ounce of quality.
Automatic maintenance is one such marvel Microsoft has embedded into Windows. Its job is to ensure that your Windows remains healthy by periodically performing diagnostic scans, Windows updates and security checks. Automatic Maintenance is turned on by default and set by the user to perform its tasks on a daily basis at a time the user tends to not use his computer. However, if you are using your computer at that time, automatic maintenance will wait until the next time it finds your computer idle and get to work.
Automatic maintenance ensures that everything in your Windows is up to date and refreshed to perform at your required level every day. While the feature should always be turned on, Microsoft has provided users with the functionality to manually turn on / turn off automatic maintenance in Windows 10. If you’re one of those looking for this, look no further than below the jump.
