If any one of those lots of items you see causes the CPU to use 10% of
CPU time (even for a fraction of a second), the power down options
countdown timers gets reset.
If you just glance at TM, 99% idle could be the case, but you would
have to watch it for a while and maybe see something that uses 10% -
even for a split second that uses 10% if you are lucky enough to see
it.
So far I have in my list these Processes (that are not doing anything)
interfere:
Skype, any kind of Instant Messenger, MagicJack, AVG, Bit Defender.
Anybody know of any more?
They are doing something.
