I thought I might get some ideas here from our experts. The Microsoft Answer Tech escalated it to the second level of support, and he was told that I was the first to experience the problem and there is not yet a known solution to it. I have tried restarting, I have tried leaving it alone for hours to see if it finishes, and I have contacted Microsoft Answer Desk to get support with the problem. It continues to show Maintenance in progress even when I click Stop maintenance, and the Action Center flag icon in the task bar notification area constantly shows the clock icon with the message that Maintenance in progress is occurring when I hover the mouse over it. My Action Center is currently stuck with Automatic Maintenance running.


Alright, I will be the first one to post this problem since according to Microsoft, I am the only person to experience the problem so far with Windows 8.
