How to change the schedule of your Windows or Linux desktop
By default, your virtual desktop come with no schedule, which means your desktop will stay up until you stop/terminate it, and will stay stopped until you turn it back on. You can change this behavior by configuring your own scheduling, and IDEA will ensure your desktop will automatically start/stop based on your own requirements.
Virtual Desktop will only be stopped if idle (e.g: no active session connected and CPU usage below 15% for at least 15 minutes). This is meant to prevent accidental stop and ensure you won't have to worry if you have a simulation running on your desktop overnight but have configured auto-stop after 8PM
You can at any moment review whether or not you have a schedule configured for the current day on your virtual desktop by checking the settings bar of your session (note: schedule are unique to each desktop)
