How can I turn this completely off? I found a way to set the time, but not a way to turn it off completely.

You can do it by task scheduler. For this open the task scheduler by typing task on the Modern UI under the Apps and you will find the Task Scheduler at the left side click it and open. Now go to following path



Task Scheduler > Microsoft > Windows > Task Scheduler



Here you have to right click on the Idle Maintenance & Regular Maintenance and select the option disable, that's it!

If you want to enable it again then just do the reverse.
