[RESOLVED] Maintenance
I'm looking for a way to turn off the Windows 8.1 maintenance. I've been into task scheduler, but nothing I disable stays disabled.
Thanks in advance

Yeah...I'd tried that MidKnyte. It disables okay, but it always magically turns back on. Any other ideas?

Did you disable the Maintenance Configurator job also?
Hmm, apparently others have had the issue of the jobs getting re-enabled.
This might work. You'll need to download psexec from Sysinternals.

Then run the following from an elevated command prompt:
psexec -s schtasks /change /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\TaskScheduler\Maintenance Configurator" /DISABLE
After that, the maintenance job should stay disabled. The key is the -s which runs as the SYSTEM account.
If you need help running commands, let us know.

I just tested it out on my Win8.1 VM and the task stayed disabled after a reboot. If you want to disable the other maintenance tasks:
psexec -s schtasks /change /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\TaskScheduler\Idle Maintenance" /DISABLE
psexec -s schtasks /change /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\TaskScheduler\Regular Maintenance" /DISABLE

That did it, MidKnyte. I've been good for the last few days. Thank you!
