Automatic Maintenance delayed, notification won't go away

Well, this is pretty annoying. Since last night, I've had this Automatic Maintenance notification randomly pop up in Action Center which simply refuses to go away:



I've already run the maintenance multiple times, and it seems to complete just fine, but the notification never goes away and it always tells me the maintenance was delayed after it supposedly finished:



I've also gone into Task Scheduler and manually run the Regular Maintenance task per the solution here, but no dice. Also rebooted the system many times.

Any ideas?

Turn off automatic maintenance and reboot the computer.

If all is well put it back on.

Hello Octiceps,

If you like, you could also just turn off the message to not see it anymore.

I don't know the answer, but the same problem has appeared for me within the last few days.
Maybe something has changed that is affecting both our computers?

I can't speak for Octiceps, but I just tried this - the message reappears once I'd turned it back on again and restarted.

Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting. Under System and Security, click Run maintenance tasks.
Does anything change.

Neither of these did anything for me.

Yeah I could, but this is just masking the problem. Still stumped at this point.

I had this same issue but i upgraded to 8.1 for free at the windows store and i no longer have this issue

I wouldn't count on it staying that way, as I did a System Restore and the problem went away for a while, but now it's back. Anyway, I dislike 8.1 even more than 8, and I'd sooner switch to Windows 7 than update to 8.1.
