Since several activities in VS are done in a background on idle (not to be confused with background threads &#8211; idle processing is performed on the main thread), it was clear that VS was not getting any idle time slots, i.e. something was keeping OS busy.&nbsp;We tracked the issue down some third party applications as well as to a bug in&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;Wireless Mouse driver that was keeping OS busy and prevented OS from going to sleep or launching screen saver. See <a href=\"http:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/kb\/913405\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Knowledge Base topic<\/a> for details and workarounds\/updates.&nbsp;What about Windows 7? The fix was included in later builds of client OS, i.e. change is in Windows 7, but it is not included&nbsp;in Windows 2008 Server.
