Windows 8 has a new feature that runs automatic maintenance tasks like
software updates, security scanning, and other diagnostic tests daily. By default,
it runs them at 3AM, of if you're using your computer, the next time your
computer becomes idle. You can change this time in the Action Center, as well as
tell Windows whether you want to wake your computer up to perform these
tasks. You can also perform the maintenance manually from the Action Center, if
you desire.
