Support::ProcessIdleTasks method
Requests the system run the maintenance tasks scheduled to run when the system is idle. This prevents the maintenance tasks from running during the assessment.
Syntax
virtual HRESULT ProcessIdleTasks(
[out] HANDLE *idleTasksHandle
) const = 0;
Parameters
-
idleTasksHandle [out]
-
The handle to the idle tasks.
Return value
If the function succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error value.
Remarks
This method enables an assessment to request that the operating system to perform maintenance tasks usually run when the system is idle. Maintenance tasks such as disk defragmentation can take extremely long times, and running them beforehand is less likely to interfere with the assessment.
Managed code uses the Support.ProcessIdleTasks method.
