Hi
I'm relatively new to all of the maintenance aspects of Windows etc. However, I want to try and run tasks on my laptop, according to a schedule, rather than worry about maintenance every two minutes etc.
So far, I have got the following on my computer for security:
Anti Virus - Run once a week, full scan once per month (inc. firewall)
Malware Bytes - Run once a week, full scan once per month
CC Cleaner - Remove junk - remove junk once a week
However, what maintenance tasks do I need to perform with Windows 8.1? Will the Maintenance tool do the work for me and if so, will running maintenance in general once a week, do the trick? I don't want to do maintenance every day for the sake of it.
Am I doing things correctly thus far? The security of my computer, I have been advised, is good. However, I'm a shade rusty on what maintenance I need to do - I was planning to run the maintenance at night so it could do the necessary work in the small hours and then come back to the laptop in the morning etc.
Thanks for any advice.
Regards
Rob
