I know it is possible to disable auto log out from control panel. I want to know is there a way to prevent windows from locking/ sleeping without changing any security options.
You can download and run this little program: No Sleep
Get it from here
It moves your mouse once a minute by one pixel. Thus it prevents your windows from going to sleep mode.
You could use this AutoHotkey script:
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
Loop
{
; Move mouse
MouseMove, 1, 1, 0, R
; Replace mouse to its original location
MouseMove, -1, -1, 0, R
; Wait before moving the mouse again
Sleep, 600000
}
return
You can download the portable version of AutoHotkey here.
When you click on the link for Todd Cramer's blog (which is ) , it takes you to a page that has nothing to do with Todd Cramer or his software. Presumably because his domain-name or web-hosting expired.
However, when I downloaded the NoSleep program back in 2017, I also took screencaps of his webpage, and I made it a point to keep the downloaded file handy.
Since his site is down, I've hosted it on my Mediafire account.
You can access it via: (keep+mouse+moving+to+avoid+screensaver)+--+NoSleep_0+(Archive+file+of+NoSleep+hosted+on+MediaFire+).rar/file

Hope this helps!
This can be done by the following:

- Click Save Changes
