How do I get the status (5% complete, 10% complete, etc.) for the Windows maintenance, once it is running? Can that be turned on, if it exists, when not running?
I am running Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit.
I already know how to turn off maintenance, simply right click on the system tray maintenance running icon, select Open Action Center, and click on the stop hyperlink. Yes, I saw the maintenance "settings" link.
Windows maintenance started 2-days ago. I purposely did not turn off the computer. I merely lock the keyboard. Since I am not with the computer most of the time, the computer has had now 2-days to continuously do whatever it is doing and not finish. I have run defrag utilities in the past on other computers and that takes a fraction of the time that windows maintenance takes.

I removed your extra question regarding what the maintenance actually does to prevent this form being seen as a duplicate, as that part is already covered in this question: What is the “Automatic Maintenance”?

One can also ask, which of the two tasks it is doing and as I asked at what percentage complete. – Sarah Weinberger – 2014-03-06T15:34:52.467
Your request for a status is a good/different question. As well, it's probably worth posting another new question that's just asking about what the ".Net Optimization" part is. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-03-06T15:45:27.490
Good point, I did, question id is 725604. – Sarah Weinberger – 2014-03-06T17:35:54.057
