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.
