Curious? (Was: How to impede W10 from hibernating automatically?)

You write a little script that moves the mouse every X period of time. It kills the screensaver. Presumably, it would also kill the hibernation timer. Curious! What does that mean? Oh, maybe it is a translation issue. English is not my first language. You can replace with "interesting" :-) -- Cheers, Carlos. |

I want nothing ( except a global hotkey ) to wake my monitor.

There's no option to do something like "mouse move over 1/2" wakes up computer. Since at that point it's seemingly on BIOS level, there would be no way to even calculate the movement. I don't see it as problematic. Excluding the mouse works fine. I restart my computers by pressing the spacebar. |

I want nothing ( except a global hotkey ) to wake my monitor. The only solutions I've found, so far, put my monitor back to sleep AFTER it wakes up, which causes my monitor to displaying an annoyingly bright "no signal" message, 15 seconds later, hurting my eyes. |

I want nothing ( except a global hotkey ) to wake my monitor.
Paul,
My 4k, 40" monitor swings on an absurdly long/high monitor arm, over my bed. I'm lying down now, in bed, as I write this. The monitor is at arms length, for a kind of IMAX experience. When I hit a certain hotkey my code turns the monitor off. Hitting the same (global) hotkey ( assigned to a mouse button ) turns the monitor back on again. The mouse button: http://Jeff-Relf.Me/MouseKeyboardLayout.PNG At night, in a dark room, when I'm trying to sleep, movement jiggles the mouse, briefly turning the monitor back on again (yikes!); my code immediately turns the monitor back off; but, 15 seconds later, my monitor displays a bright "No Signal" message waking me up. Ideally, nothing but the hotkey would turn the monitor back on. As far as I know, it can't be done. |

I understand we are talking of the display only being asleep. Even with full machine being sleep, I have seen mouse movement not waking up a machine, but clicking its button yes. With the current complexity of the BIOS, I don't see a big problem coding this. I don't see it as problematic. Excluding the mouse works fine. I restart my computers by pressing the spacebar.

What would be the trick with a batch file (with this command) to make it run as administrator, right click and then run as administrator? I would recommend you install a GUI program with click-able radio buttons for the operating mode you desire. powercfg /h off is the kind of command you use for a permanent fix, which would not be appropriate for a laptop really. It was only offered as an illustration. Something more "nuanced" is required to offer the proper degree of dynamic control. Perhaps psexec could be used. I only use this for one purpose, and haven't tried a wealth of options on it. Maybe you could craft a shortcut of some sort with it ? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sys...wnloads/psexec For example: psexec64 -hsi cmd.exe raises a Command Prompt window to SYSTEM authority. Whatever you use, outside of Scheduled Tasks, is likely to present a UAC prompt when it needs the Impersonate privilege from the administrator group capability. ******* You can also have a play with this - "Runas" aka "Run As". And a shortcut might have a place to specify the account used. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/pre...28v%3Dws.11%29 runas /user:localmachinename\administrator cmd Paul |

A monitor that doesn't flash "No Video Input" ?
Is there monitor that doesn't flash "No Video Input"
after you (supposedly) put the monitor to sleep ? it should be optional. I've no way of knowing which monitors don't do that, if any. Mayayana, I went to Device Manager and deselected "Allow this device to bring computer out of standby" wherever possible, under HID and "Mice and other pointing devices". It had no effect, mouse moment still wakes my monitor. I googled "WaitWakeEnabled" mouse ; didn't see anything relevant. |

Multi-sync monitors have an OSD (OnScreenDisplay). They have a tiny processor. They analyze Hfreq and Vfreq and refresh and that kinda stuff, to determine if "the inputs are within range". The OSD warns you if you are driving signals which cannot be represented on the screen. They stopped making fixed-sync monitors long ago. Why not crack the manual that came with your fancy monitor, and see if it has a section about the OSD, with what options are available. Paul |

Jeff-Relf.Me @. wrote
| Is there monitor that doesn't flash "No Video Input" | after you (supposedly) put the monitor to sleep ? Beats me. They seem to be coming with increasing "intelligence", communicating with the system despite no driver install. The "no signal" message seems to be just a silly, superfuous addition to make the monitor look smart. As Carlos pointed out, I had misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about putting the system to sleep. I've never seen the behavior you're talking about, but I always set my systems to never turn anything off. I only put the system on standby/sleep if I'm going to do something else. If you want the monitor off then why not just turn it off? Isn't that easy enough? Or put the whole system in standby. I don't see the point of putting only the monitor to sleep. |

Mayayana replied ( to me ): If you want the monitor off then why not just turn it off? The problem with turning the monitor off/on is the super-annoying+blinding splash screen ( in a pitch-black room ). Monitor reviews don't mention anything about that. No one talks about it, not even in the manuals. I'm a strange duck, apparently; no one but me cares about it. I don't have it. None of my monitors does that, but then, I don't have a really big one. -- Cheers, Carlos. |
