Hi there, new here.
Just recently updated to Windows 8.1 via Windows 8's Store. One thing I've noticed, though, is that two tasks - Idle Maintenance and Regular Maintenance run when I'm on battery as opposed to just when I'm on power (I use a laptop). Curious, I looked in Task Scheduler and found that both of these tasks have the option "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power" is set to OFF. Whenever I try to change it, it does work...until those tasks run again, where they reset to what they were. I even tried disabling them and they still came on when I booted up the next time.
Please help. I really don't want to have to keep setting these and/or staying on power.
