    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 On Idle task not triggered Windows 7

    • PC2 is windows 10 machine
    • PC1 is windows 7 machine
    Now this is what I found regarding my task:

    • On win10 machine: But on my windows 10 machine, I've checked and manually timed the trigger to happens and I found that it always triggers after 4 mins when no keyboard or mouse actions, not 1 min. I've
      manually timed it more than 5 times and it always runs after 4 mins not 1 min. Any explanation? and how I can run it after 1 min of idle time not 4 mins?
    • On win7 machine: My same task posted in my question don't run at all on my windows 7 machine and doesn't trigger at all on windows 7 .
    I've noticed on the Microsoft docs https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/task-idle-conditions that
    it says something about 4 minutes but I didn't understand and I don't know if it's related or not? and why it doesn't work at all on my windows 7 machine.

    I've now tried your script this is what I found regarding your task:

    • On win10 machine: Your task will also run after 4 mins on my win10 machine and log the time in the log file, but if I try to run my winform application instead of the cmd then after 4 mins it runs in the background
      as a process only but no form opened and nothing shown or visible. So I've been checking to know the reason and found that what is causing this problem is using the SYSTEM user instead of my current user. If I used my current user it will run and the form
      will open and be visible
    • On win7 machine: Your task doesn't run at all on my win7 machine and nothing logged in the file.

      Any advice please as I'm really stuck? Thank you for your help.

  4. windows 10 Task Schedular issue with trigger on idle for logoff --NOT WORKING

    Windows 8.1/10 never stops with maintenance when idle?

    Task Schedular > Task Schedular Library > Microsoft > Windows

    Now check settings for chkdsk, disk diagnostic, defrag, maintanance, shell, storage tier management etc and disable respective settings. it will stop maintaining those things while your PC is idle.
