Product: HP Slimline Desktop - 290-a0046
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

After I upgraded my BIOS to the newest version and also updated some Windows 10 (64-bit) stuff my PC started to freeze when idle. I eventually discovered that the PC would freeze whenever the Automatic Maintenance task would run (either when the PC was idle or when run manually). The problem is reproducible. I was able to disable Automated Maintenance using a registry key so the PC will not freeze when idle now, although that is not ideal. The Automated Maintenance is actually about 2 dozen specific tasks in the Task Scheduler. So, my question is how do I identify the specific task in the scheduler so I can disable it and re-enable the overall Automated Maintenance feature? I have already run all of the usual hardware and software diagnostics and refreshed the Windows 10 OS.
