I’d like to pause my program if a user is inactive for 5 minutes. By inactive I mean hasn’t pressed their mouse or their keyboard during that time (including outside the program too!). Any starting points?

Within a timer you could p/invoke
GetLastInputInfo()which will return the number ms since input was detected from the user, across all processes in the current session.
