Idle time optimizer

[Al_Watson]

In Norton 360, the Norton Service is consuming huge amount of CPU and Power showing “VERY HIGH” almost constantly. How do I disable this “servcie” or as some have posted, disable the “idle time optimizer”.

My Norton settings does not have a “Administrative Settings” as some have said to use, as in the below instructions..

To disable Norton’s Idle Time Optimizer in Windows 10, navigate to Settings > Administrative Settings > Norton Tasks and toggle the “Idle Time Optimizer” switch to the off position, then click “Apply” and “OK”.

@Al_Watson Unfortunate as it is there are no support documents for the 25.xx version release. Other who are using that version ( I DO NOT ) may have input for helping. This link is the one I can find, its for the versions prior to version 24.xx and 25.xx . This issue regarding missing support documentation has been reported as well.

View or change Norton device security Administrative Settings

These were my suggested settings with version 24.xx when it was released months ago.

@Asem_Saleh Version 24xx and how it functions “under the hood” is basically an unknown at present. I can suggest a few settings to look at that may provide some changes if you are receptive to them. Please note that, the maximum time we can delay idle time out is 30 minutes. A suggestion on the product suggestions board to have the ability to disable it entirely seems prudent.

Thanks for you post. I had already set idle time to the 30 minute max. Just wish there was some way to turn it completely off.
