Exactly what is so important in Automatic Maintenance that it has to automatically run it daily as opposed to weekly or monthly, or every 2 days etc.? I know that with my other laptop running Vista, Microsoft Security Essentials virus definition updates happen daily, but doesn't take more than a few minutes to update, and the virus scan itself doesn't take more than 10 to 15 minutes, and that it tells me to do a virus scan weekly as opposed to daily.
I set the automatic maintenance to run at 3AM, but by that time, my laptop is hibernating, so automatic maintenance runs when I don't use my laptop, but it is idle.
This begs the question, if I constantly use my laptop and hibernate it by the time the automatic maintenance is supposed to start, does it mean the automatic maintenance tasks are backed up so that it would take longer to complete?
One problem I find with automatic maintenance is that it runs when I don't touch my laptop. It doesn't matter if a CPU intensive program is running at the time or not. For example, I was running a trivia game, and I want to listen to the in game host say the questions and answers without me making any input towards the game, that is, I am purely listening to the game and looking at the basic graphics. Every time automatic maintenance starts to run, the game slows down and feels kind of choppy, and this is a game made in 2003 by the way.
I totally swear that every time I am not touching the laptop, no matter what program is running, and I could be overloading the CPU with tons of programs, and automatic maintenance would still run.
I am going to test the idle computer with FPS games made after 2003 to see if the game slows down because of the automatic maintenance.
