Finding a balance between energy cost and security, and performance
Did you know that by default, Windows schedules maintenance utilities to run between 12:00AM and 3:00 AM. Important tasks such as virus protection updates and scans, Windows security updates, and the occasional defrag will run while you sleep. That is, if your computer is not sleeping as well. The challenge is that most systems also go to sleep and miss these important tasks until the system is woken or turned back on. When you wake up or turn on your system those tasks that had been missed will play catch-up. Windows will download updates, the virus scan will run in the background, and as a result the system performance can be very poor. And just when you think the sluggishness is over, a popup may ask you to restart your computer to complete the process. This experience can be very frustrating.
