    Task scheduler On Idle task not triggered Windows 7

    Windows 10: I've just tested on windows 10 and set the task idle time to be 5 mins, but it
    still triggered after 4 mins only, I've manually timed it 3 times and always triggers after 4 mins not 5 mins, any idea why?

    Windows 7: Isn't the task triggered because Windows 7 does not admire the 4 minute idle timer as
    according to Microsoft Windows 7 checks if the system is idle every 15 minutes? if so then shouldn't it work if the task idle time is set to 20 mins for example?

    UPDATE : I just tested it and manually timed it twice on my Windows 7 machine and it always triggers after 15 mins of Idle time even if I am setting the Idle task to 20 mins. Also my
    application doesn't start although the task is triggered but instead of my application running a screensaver starts running although I am setting screensaver to off on my machine. Any explanations or advice please?

    WMI suggestion: Could you advise with the steps step by step to follow to do you WMI suggestion
    please?

    Task Scheduler - Create task to STOP rather than START another task Windows 10

    I have created a task in Task Scheduler in Windows that runs a small batch file at log on and re-runs every 10 minutes. This works fine as intended. But, now I want to setup this task to stop running when computer is idle for more than 30 minutes. In
    task configuration page I can find condition that only allows to start a program when idle, but I cannot find the option to stop when idle.

    How do I create a task that starts to runs the batch file at logon every 10 minutes and stops if the computer is idle for more than 30 minutes.

    Any solution is appreciated.
