What does my computer when "Maintenance is underway"?
Why my computer is always run maintenance tasks? I have Norton and I regularly update Windows. I have also stop and restart my computer every day. So why it seems that he is perpetually makes a kind of maintenance.
I also noticed that my CPU fan is frequently turned on during these sessions and my mouse control gets really 'glassy '. I have a paranoia that my computer has somehow been hacked and when he said that he performs maintenance, I imagine that it is actually performing a subroutine where she is taken hostage by a third party provider for any harmful use. Probably sending spam or something like that. Why Microsoft does not include a status bar, or something? A simple "your computer is clean unused files, or defragment the drive hard or at least something!
And why he last so long?
Hello Joel,
Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.
The automatic Maintenance Windows reduces the impact to the PC in planning maintenance only when the PC is powered on and idle. By default, the system performs maintenance every day at 03:00. (Note that the user can set a new appointment in case of maintenance). This session is limited to a maximum of 1 hour per attempt. If the user is actively using the machine, the system differs maintenance until a later date. The system suspends also maintenance running any task, if the user returns to the PC.
You can go to the center of the Action and click on maintenance and read why service is running. To do this, follow the steps below.
1. press Windows + X on the keyboard. Click on Control Panel.
2. click on system and security and then click on the status of your computer.
3. to view details about the security or the maintenance of the article, click on the title or the arrow next to the heading to expand or collapse the section.
Hope this information was useful.

What does it mean when accessibility.delay_plugins is set to false?
I keep having problems with Flash player crashing in Firefox, while Zynga Games. I have the latest version of Firefox, Flash Player, plugins have been reset: I jumped through all the hoops and continue to have problems.

What does it mean when he says "a script slows down the computer running slowly?
Whenever I'm on FACEBOOK, I get a grey inset block on the screen saying that something is causing a "script" and, therefore, my computer works more slowly.
Ok
See if you have a "My Computer" icon on the screen (your office). Otherwise, you can just click on the button 'Start' (lower left corner) and right-click on 'My Computer' (near 'Control Panel').
After you right-click and then opens a menu popup (rectangular box).
Then just click on this box, where it is said, 'properties' - then a big box with:
the speed of the processor is listed under "Processor" (turn where it says Mhz or Ghz and the number just before it (as one might say 1.9 Ghz or 333 Mhz ["hz" stands for hertz]).)
the RAM will be also listed, perhaps under "installed memory (RAM).
Also, I would like to know what is your brand-name of the computer and if you can find a model number (and how old it is would be useful).
Thank you.
