   I sense another "tutorial" is coming ... :-)   
      
   To answer the questionnaire: I answer the last option to all sections.   
   Laptop, left open and on for days/weeks on end. Sometimes, when I come   
   back after a while, the backlight has turned off; I presume the times it   
   hasn't, something has run that has reset that particular timer.   
      
   As to why: partly left over from when startup _wasn't_ that fast (I had   
   HD until Windows 7, have now SSD on 10), partly - I think - so emails   
   and news posts come in. Though they come in fast enough anyway, so   
   probably just lethargy.
