For what please these energy efficiency improvements for MS Windows OS?
It is almost more important that the computer goes into the sleep mode, than that the standby state is prevented in Windows 11, 10, ... by Don't Sleep!
This new feature is in don't sleep from version 4.01!
Please sleep is the opposite to the no sleeping mode, the Don't Sleep standard mode. Because some programs really prevent that the computer or monitor goes in sleep mode, or Windows itself thinks it doesn't have now. And that takes power (bad for the green nature)
Wouldn't know how big is the damage worldwide through pointless running computer. I think there are millions per day.
1.) The solution for the sleep problem under windows!
With the two separate controllers you can set when the PC should put the monitor or the computer in standby. And whether mouse events or keyboard events should be respected, or both. (... see Image-1 Arrow 1 & 2)
I am open for suggestions for improvement. ;-)
To better identify in which mode you are located, the program and To-Tray icon in the notification will be changed, the area of the Windows taskbar. (... see Image-1 Arrow-3)
Info for Softwaretester: sleep mode is not supported in Virtual PC (for example virtual box). Similarly, if drivers are not correctly installed (drivers of the graphics card, CPU,...)
Here in the example, as long as no keyboard input and no mouse action takes place and that for 10 seconds, the PC is in the most economical and most gentle energy saving mode, at mouse or keyboard events, the auto energy mode is switched to the balanced energy plan.
The time is adjustable in the program from 10 seconds to 5 minutes.
3.) Detect Xbox Controller and / or Joystick events (from Version 4.93)!
From version Don't Sleep 4.94 in "Please Sleep Mode" enables the possibility if activate Keyboard Events to detect Xbox Controller and / or Joystick Events, so the Keyboard Events setting includes the Xbox One, Xbox 360 Controller, and other joystick events!
(Image-3) watch Xbox Controller an Joystick Events!
I have designed DontSleep so that the system setting is used, this rule is not only for Windows 11 and 10, it is also for all other MS Windows OS If hibernation
Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, standby defective?
PC no longer wants to go out. What can I do?
I have encountered with problem in Don't sleep tool. I have a latest portable version. Windows 7 x64 Pro. Problem is that I use "Perfomance Power Plan" in Windows. And after I reboot my OS, Don't Sleep always change Power Plan to "Balanced". I do not use Please sleep function. I had attached screen-shots.?
Did I see that correctly that the features of AutoPowerOptions are now integrated in DontSleep and that I only have to install the latter?
If I don't use my keyboard for a few seconds, I'm thrown out and have to log in again. Why is that and how can I stop it? My program is Windows 10?
Pc should go out after a certain time?
Windows monitor should not go out automatically?
Help Windows 10, do not want to go into standby !?
