This is part of Windows Terminal Services.  The API to fetch the idle 
time is undocumented and unsupported, but you can find the information here:

https://groups.google.com/g/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel/c/xt2G599tJuQ?hl=en#91fc4e79a5d6c495

Because it is undocumented, it might be better to parse the output of 
"query user".
