Hi, The MacOS also does daily, weekly and monthly software tuneups. These are pre-defined operations done at some un-godly hour of the night/morning when most of us should be sleeping. If your computer is off or closed when these operations normally run, they are performed when the unit is first awakened or started up. There is a set of Terminal commands you can run to run these operations on demand but it is unnecessary, really.
