Hello,

I have observed that my Windows 11 computer initiates Automatic Maintenance multiple times throughout the day. This typically occurs when my computer has been idle for approximately 10 minutes and ceases as soon as I resume my work. Upon returning to work, I promptly check the Security and Maintenance Center, which confirms that the maintenance process was executed mere minutes before. It appears that the system initiates maintenance during idle periods and halts once I am actively using the computer. Is this behavior to be expected?

However, there are instances when the Automatic Maintenance does not cease, and it seems to continue running even after I have resumed work from an idle state. Shouldn’t it stop immediately when I am active again? At times, the maintenance process persists until I either shut down my computer or manually intervene to end it. Is this normal? Has anyone encountered this issue before? Should I simply wait for it to stop on its own?

Furthermore, I believe that the Automatic Maintenance is functioning properly since I have noted information pertaining to defragmentation and ESENT, with no reported errors. These recent observations have raised concerns for me as I lack a comprehensive understanding of how this process operates. Could someone kindly provide insight into these queries? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
