Is there any way to change the maintenance settings in the Home version?

So far, all the searches are listing sites that tell you how to do it in
Pro.

That setting is not available in your Home edition? In an online
search, I found no mention automatic maintenance was a Pro-only feature.

Seems your only choices a
- Run automatically (when idle).
- Run at a scheduled time.
- Disable it (via Task Scheduler).

An online search found:

So you can defin XML files inputted by schtasks or use C to interface
with the TaskSch API. Once inputted, I don't know where the settings
are stored. Maybe in the tasks files under %windir%\Tasks, or might be
saved in registry entries.

(The above was found via online search. I never bothered with Win8.)
