Can I automatically schedule tools to run in System Mechanic?

Yes. System Mechanic includes a maintenance feature called ActiveCare that can automatically run cleanup, repair, and optimization tasks on your PC.

✅ What ActiveCare does

• ActiveCare monitors your system’s performance and resource usage while your PC is on but idle.
• When ActiveCare detects issues or performance thresholds you configured — such as low memory, accumulated junk files, or fragmented drives — it triggers the appropriate maintenance tools automatically, without you having to run them manually.
• Examples: cleaning browser and system junk files, repairing registry issues, defragmenting hard drives, removing unnecessary startup programs, and more.

🛠️ How to configure automatic tasks

1. Open System Mechanic and go to Settings → Performance Settings (or the Performance/ActiveCare tab). See the image below.
2. From there, you can choose which tasks you want ActiveCare to run automatically — e.g., registry fixes, junk file cleanup, drive defragmentation, internet cleanup, startup optimization, etc. Toggle each task on or off.
3. Under scheduling options (e.g., in Performance Settings or Frequency settings), you can specify how often System Mechanic should check and run maintenance — from every few hours to once a month (or disable automatic scheduling).
4. Optional: You can enable email reports in ActiveCare’s settings so System Mechanic will send you periodic summaries of what was fixed or optimized. See the second image below.

⚠️ Important notes

• ActiveCare does not schedule individual tools for fixed times (like “run defragmenter every Sunday at 3 am”). Instead, it runs tools based on performance triggers and when the PC is idle.
• If you disable automatic scheduling (e.g., set frequency to “Never”), then tools will only run when you manually initiate them.
• Automatic maintenance aims to be non-intrusive: all background tasks only run when the PC is idle, so they should not interfere with your work.
