Routine Maintenance
When you buy a car, you cannot simply fill it with gas from time to time while
driving from point A to point B. It is also necessary to perform routine maintenance
to ensure your car runs smoothly for as long as possible.
Likewise, there are certain routine tasks that should be performed on your
computer. These simple maintenance procedures will optimize your computer’s
abilities, increase its life and lower the probability of data loss.
We highly recommend that you use these utilities to keep your Micron computer
operating at peak performance:
•
Windows Task Scheduler
•
System File Checker
•
System Defragmentation
•
ScanDisk
Windows Task Scheduler
(Maintenance Wizard)
By using Task Scheduler, you can schedule tasks (such as Disk Defragmenter) to
run at a time that is most convenient for you. Task Scheduler starts each time you
start Windows, and runs in the background.
With Task Scheduler, you can:
•
Schedule a task to run daily, weekly, monthly, or at certain times (such as
system startup).
•
Change the schedule for a task.
•
Stop a scheduled task.
•
Customize how a task runs at a scheduled time.
To schedule a new task:
1. Click on Start.
2. Select Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Maintenance Wizard.
3. Follow each step as directed by the on-screen instructions, and then click Next
to advance.
