Turn Idle Time Optimizer on

Norton automatically schedules the optimization when it detects the installation of a new application on your computer. Norton runs this optimization only when your computer is idle.

You can use the Idle Time Optimizer option to optimize the boot volume during idle time. By default, this option is turned on.

Turn Idle Time Optimizer on or off

  1. Open your Norton device security product.

    If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.

  2. In the Norton product main window, click Settings.

  3. In the Settings window, click Administrative Settings.

  4. In the Idle Time Optimizer row, move the On/Off switch to Off or On.

  5. Click Apply, and then click Close.
