2021 Download Keep Screen Awake

PowerToys Awake is a tool for Windows designed to keep a computer awake without having to manage its power & sleep settings. This can be helpful when running time-consuming tasks, ensuring that the computer does not go to sleep or turn off its screens.

While PowerToys Awake can keep the computer awake indefinitely or temporarily, in its default state the displays connected to the machine will turn off. If you need the displays to be available, use the Keep screen on switch, which will keep displays active.

The settings.json configuration file is located at %HomePath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake\. "Keep awake temporarily" options can be adjusted by modifying the "customTrayTimes" value, an array consisting of name and duration (in seconds) to stay awake. For example: "customTrayTimes":{"8 hours":28800}.

"How to setup Tasker so that if the phone is charging, and Spotify is in the foreground, the phone/screen will not go to sleep?"

Are you using the Keep Screen Awake in the Roon settings? That works well for me. Only keeps the screen awake when Roon is in the foreground. The screen does go to sleep when I flip Roon to the background.

I have a piece of server-ish software written in Java to run on Windows and OS X. (It is not running on a server, but just a normal user's PC - something like a torrent client.) I would like the software to signal to the OS to keep the machine awake (prevent it from going into sleep mode) while it is active.

Edit: At least on my Army workstation, simply programmatically generating mouse and key messages isn't enough to keep my workstation logged in and awake. The early posters with the Java Robot class are on the right track. JAVA Robot works on or below the OS's HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) However I recreated and tested the Java/Robot solution and it did not work - until I added a Robot.keyPress(123) to the code.

I have three activities in my app. I want to keep the screen awake when it is in the second activity. The screen should not go off in my second activity unless the "lock" key is pressed manually. I went through many links but they seem unclear to me.

Android OS2.2 used to have an option under Settings/Applications/Development to disable screen lock during USB debugging. After upgrading my Samsung Galaxy S to OS2.3.3 this option disappeared and it's VERY frustrating to keep unlocking my phone while debugging.

I'm lazy, possibly like many others, and I don't like to keep on eye out for something unneccessarily. This means that the "Oh, I'll just turn this on while I'm working and then turn it off when finished" option is not a viable one. You will forget it and you will experience any of the sideeffects listed below eventually.

FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON with a Debug.isDebuggerConnected() guard FTW! Stay awake when charging, Screen timeout and wake-lock are non-viable options if you just want to debug.

There's also an advantage of this solution working from API 1 AND wifi debugging!

Burn in: There should be a huge red flag anyone turning this on. It says "while charging" not "while debugging". Which means that even if your phone is plugged in to the mains it will keep on. This is especially bad if you have an AMOLED screen (e.g. Galaxy S series) which burns stuff in. I had this option on for a few weeks and now I have a permanent portrait status bar...

Notifications: Even if you use low brightness and don't forget to turn your screen off every time you put the phone down some apps wake your screen up if you get just a simple notification which leads to keeping it on most of the time while plugged in.

Night light: If you charge your phone at night, and forget to turn it screen down, you get a free night light that automatically turns on when you get a notification at night or the devices wakes up for a moment for whatever reason.

Security: If you just leave your screen on while charging and you're needed quickly for something at work, the first thing won't be "Ah, let me lock my phone first" and you may expose your dirty secrets if you accidentally left it on. Let me note that if you're working in an environment where you can't trust your collegaues, I would reconsider that employment.

Battery drain: If you get one the screen will be on for the specified amount of time, draining your battery. And it will be on because sometimes you forget to turn it off, or just get a notification.

Pocket dial: if your screen turns on while the phone is in your pocket the risk of a pocket dial with increase with every second. Nowadays this is less likely though, because the Phone app is usually well hidden, but my pocket likes to change the date very often or read my emails.

Security: imagine you're in a public place and your phone is on the table, your friends will most likely abuse your unlocked screen if you turn around for long enough to talk to someone or take a quick break. Especially if they're inebriated. Obviously shorter timeouts decrease this risk.

I solved this problem by combining two answers and then automating them.So basically when you run the app on a physical it might locked and it might keep going into sleep mode while you are actively developing.

One small thing, i mostly charge the phone via AC power so I might not need to reset the stay_awake setting. But if you don't want the device screen to be awake while you charge via USB power the run the below command after you are done with development for the day.

Make sure to close that mirroring window, though, if you don't need it. Keeping your screen on, even if it's mostly black during mirroring, still eats battery. Might not be an issue when debugging, as USB is connected, but disconnecting doesn't stop mirroring :)

My solution was to use scrcpy to mirror my Android's screen on my PC. I used the option --stay-awake to prevent my screen to lock, but with MOD+O to keep my smartphone's screen off.During development, I usually use just on my PC. But, if needed, I can still use on my smartphone.It was the best approach i could find.

If your phone is rooted and you are connected to wifi in the same network as the computer you're developing on, you can enjoy this wonderful app which comes with an option for screen timeout too: wifi adb.

I'm working on a web app that plays through a playlist of mp3 files and I'm running into an issue on mobile browsers. I'll start playing a song and immediately turn the screen off. The website will continue to run and play 2-3 songs. After that it stops playing. I have only tested this with chrome on android.

Now, when my iphone is plugged in and playing spotify (as the foreground app) the screen turns off as per my usual 30 second sleep time. Google maps still seems to be able to keep my screen awake when it's being used and plugged in in my car, as usual, but Spotify has stopped working!

For reference, I listen to music at my desk while I am working, with my phone on its charger streaming to a Bluetooth speaker. I like to have the screen on so I can quickly see what is playing, pause the music, skip tracks, give a song a thumbs up, etc. It is a lot harder to do that in Spotify than in other music apps.

This script, when compiled and executed, keeps my computer's screen saver from running, even after several hours. I put this script together using ideas and bits of scrips that I found in this form and internet. It is one of my first scripts, but I think it has some interesting things to share, such as the programmatic ForceSingleInstance technique and the dragable thick frame around the gui form's button.

Anyone know a way to run one of the window screen savers. I created my script to prevent the company's screen saver from locking my computer, but I miss the regular windows screen saver that showed before my company took it away. I'm thinking of adding an option to my script that would display the screen saver and then turn it off when I taped a key or mouse button, or move the mouse. I also would need to know where the normal windows screen savers are stored.

As the central part of my 'stay awake' program, your mouse solution and the pause button that I went with would both work, yours because it returns the mouse to where it was and mine becuase the pause button is ignored by any of the programs I use.

It may seem strange that I'm now interested in calling the Windows' Screen Saver after some time, but now that I can keep the computer from being locked, I'd kind of like to have the screen saver running when I'm not there to see the screen.

Actually, the screen saver will never kick-in because my company has set a policy that prevents it from being run or changed in any way. What I've done is created a program that kicks off before their program does and locks my computer. So, yes, I basically need to run a windows screen saver on my own, but I want to run my favorite windows' screen saver instead of creating one of my own. I don't have access to the Windows' screen saver configuration tool because of my policy, so I also need to know where the standard Windows 7 screen saver files are located.

I think we are talking about different things. Suppose you could "activate" the (or an other) screensaver, your own screen saver would never activate since you keep your mouse moving every minute. That is why I think you would need to create your own. Your own screen saver would need to "see" the difference between moving one pixel automatically v.s. moving multiple pixels by hand (and hence deactivating again).

Now that you've 'spelled it out', yes, my script will need to know that its keeping the system awake AND run its own screen saver of some sort until the user does something to awaken it. Too bad because I don't think that I could duplicate my favorite screen saver - its the one with the different color ribbons that drift around the screen. But, I know how to do the simipler bouncing line version, so I'll try that. Alternatively, there were a bunch of nice fireworks simulations floating around a few years ago. Maybe I can find one of those. Thanks for your comments. 2351a5e196
