I don't know a good title to tell you the problem I am having, but I will explain it in full detail with a few pictures and you will have to take my word on this.
One of the pictures shows the properties of the task scheduler of what conditions I set Idle Maintenance to trigger at. As you can see, I set it so that the laptop has to be idle for 15 minutes before the task is supposed to start.
I let my laptop stay on and sit idle at 8:00PM central time.
The other picture shows when Automatic Maintenance started. 8:04PM central time. That is totally not 15 minutes of idle time.
I also let my laptop run this automatic maintenance by purposely leaving my laptop idle, and it is still running 3 hours later. Should it even take this long?
What is going on here? It's like I change some settings in task scheduler, and the outcome doesn't change at all. Automatic Maintenance always starts 4 minutes after the laptop starts being idle. No matter what settings I change, same result. I even restarted the laptop once, and no change.
I don't know about you, but I don't consider an idle PC as being one that doesn't have any input from the user. PC's could be burning DVD's, watching movies, or even running a trivia game without any user input just to listen to the game show host talk.
