Your PC secretly maintains itself every day — cleaning temp files, checking updates, and optimizing drives.
But you can also run Automatic Maintenance manually for better control.
Here’s how:
- Open Control Panel → Security and Maintenance.
- Expand “Maintenance.”
- Click Start maintenance or change the schedule.
💡 Bonus tip: Leave your PC idle and plugged in for 15–20 minutes daily — Windows runs maintenance quietly in the background, keeping your system fast and healthy.
Think of it like letting your car idle for a tune-up. The more consistent you are, the smoother your computer runs.
