Hi I have Windows 8.1 64 bits and i recently change to an SSD. Since yesterday windows automatic maintenance icon is showing and saying that is running maintenance. That was like 20 hours ago. I'd try to disable it in the task scheduler but it is still showing off. Thats it , thanks

You can stop the task if you need to - the article also shows how to tell what exactly is being run. If your SSD is close to full - it may be defragmenting the drive and having difficulty due to low disk space.

The option "Change Maintenance Settings" is not showing also when i click "stop maintenance" it does nothing. The SSD has 105 GB free of its 250 GB.

Ohh you mean like restart the PC? BTW sorry for my english haha :eek: ... I already restarted it and also turn it off completely and after the OS loads the maintenance shows again. Do you think re-installing Windows should end this issue or that is an extreme solution?

Here is an actual solution which will 100% work.

First get to your Task Scheduler.
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Task Scheduler

Next, Navigate to the Task Scheduler Folder
Microsoft -> Windows -> Task Scheduler

Right Click on "Regular Maintenance"
Select Properties

Go to the Settings Tab
Check "Allow Task To Be Run On Demand"
Click OK

You can now manually start and stop maintenance...

Right Click on Regular Maintenance, select RUN
Right Click on Regular Maintenance, select END

Basically this will run a new instance of maintenance and stop all currently running instances.
End will stop the current instance you have started. You should no longer have it running at all.
