This tutorial shows how to manually run the Windows Automatic Maintenance Tool in Windows 10.

Here's how to make Windows 10 run faster in Windows 10.

From Microsoft:

Windows relies on running inbox and third-party maintenance activities for much of its value, including Windows Update, automatic disk defragmentation, and antivirus updates and scans. In addition, organizations often use maintenance activities such as Network Access Protection (NAP) scans to enforce security standards across all corporate workstations.

Maintenance activities in Windows are designed to run in the background with limited user interaction and minimal impact on performance and power efficiency. However, in Windows 7 and earlier versions, performance and power efficiency are still impacted by the non-deterministic and widely varying schedule of the various maintenance activities in Windows. Responsiveness to users is reduced when maintenance activities run while users are actively using the computer. Apps also frequently prompt the user to update their software and perform maintenance in the background, and redirect users to multiple experiences, including Action Center, Control Panel, Windows Update, Task Scheduler MMC snap-in, and third-party controls.

The goal of Automatic Maintenance is to combine all background maintenance activities in Windows and help third-party developers add their maintenance activities to Windows without negatively impacting performance and energy efficiency. In addition, Automatic Maintenance allows users and organizations to control the scheduling and configuration of maintenance activities.

Main problems

Automatic Maintenance is designed to resolve the following issues related to maintenance activities in Windows:

Appointment scheduling
Conflicts in resource use
Energy efficiency
Transparency for the user
Functionality

Automatic Maintenance improves idle efficiency and enables all activities to be performed in a timely and prioritized manner. It also provides unified visibility and control of maintenance activities and allows third-party developers to add their maintenance activities to Windows without negatively impacting performance and energy efficiency. To this end, it offers a fully automatic mode, a user-initiated mode, automatic stopping, deadlines and notifications, and enterprise control, each of which is described below.

Fully automatic mode

This standard mode allows intelligent scheduling during PC idle time and at set times – running and automatically pausing maintenance activities without user intervention. The user can set a weekly or daily schedule. All maintenance activities are non-interactive and run in the background.

The computer will automatically resume from sleep mode when the system is not expected to be used, observing the power management policy that by default for laptops allows the system to resume only when the system is connected to AC power. To complete the maintenance activity as quickly as possible, all system resources are used at high performance. If the system was resumed from sleep mode for automatic maintenance, it will be prompted to return to sleep mode.

All required user interactions related to activities such as configuration are performed outside of the execution of automatic maintenance.

User-initiated mode

When users need to prepare for a trip, expect to work on battery power for a long time, or want to optimize performance and responsiveness, they have the option to start automatic maintenance on demand. Users can configure the attributes of automatic maintenance, including the automatic execution schedule. They can view the current status of automatic maintenance execution and stop automatic maintenance when needed.

Automatic stop

Automatic Maintenance automatically stops ongoing maintenance activities when the user interacts with the computer. The maintenance activity resumes when the system returns to the idle state.

This tutorial applies to computers, laptops, desktops and tablets running Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 operating systems. Works for all major computer manufacturers (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).
