New in version 2.0.
After .NET framework is installed/updated, Windows will probably want to recompile things to optimise for the host. This happens via scheduled task, usually at some inopportune time. This module allows you to run this task on your own schedule, so you incur the CPU hit at some more convenient and controlled time. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2013/08/06/wondering-why-mscorsvw-exe-has-high-cpu-usage-you-can-speed-it-up.aspx
# Run ngen tasks win_dotnet_ngen:
Note
there are in fact two scheduled tasks for ngen but they have no triggers so aren’t a problem
Note
there’s no way to test if they’ve been completed (?)
Note
the stdout is quite likely to be several megabytes
For more information on what this means please read Extras Modules
