What to do if the Idle Time Detection dialog doesn’t appear

If TMetric Desktop doesn’t show the Idle Time Detection dialog after a period of inactivity, first make sure the Detect idle time option is enabled in Preferences.

If the option is enabled but the dialog still doesn’t appear, check whether your operating system’s sleep timeout is set to a longer interval than the one configured for the Detect idle time option. If the computer goes to sleep first, TMetric Desktop can’t detect idle time or show the Idle Time Detection dialog.
