Majority of all time is `Windows Default Lock Screen` #1081

Describe the bug

The grand majority of the item activity watch records is Windows Default Lock Screen. This seems less than ideal, and I can't seem to permanently "exclude it" from visualizations & calculations so it just never shows up.

Does your AFK detection seem to work otherwise? Check the Timeline or toggle off the "Exclude AFK time" filter.

Some people see issues like this when they have a faulty game controller or mouse that constantly sends input, preventing the computer from sleeping and making ActivityWatch think the user is active.

I've had requests to add a "always filter out these apps/titles" setting specifically for the case of launchers/lockscreens, but I worry that the main thing people want to use it for is to mask issues like these (I'd rather have people report them).
