Hi Dane,

I followed their advise on this issue.


1. go to start search for  Task Scheduler. (scheduled tasks)
2. Browse to Task SchedulerMicrosoftWindowsTask Scheduler.
3. Right click Idle Maintenance & Regular Maintenance and select Disable and exit the task scheduler window and check if its is disabled or not.

Select disable on all off the options (only one you cannot edit, it is protected) after you will disable them select delete.

This helped me.

However, after an update or some time, I noticed that the settings appeared back there. But maintenance did not start (I removed them again just to be sure :D )

Try that and see if it works. Keep in mind one of these task cannot be removed and I suspect that this task will create the other ones.

Good luck.

Adrian
