If you want to know how to stop or prevent your Windows computer from going to Sleep, Hibernate, or Standby mode, you can use one of these tools. In this post, we will discuss Mouse Jiggler and Sleep Preventer.
Stop computer from Sleeping with Mouse Jiggler
Mouse Jiggler is a tool that fools your computer that you are still around by sending ‘fake or virtual’ mouse inputs, thereby preventing your Windows PC from going to sleep.
It continuously jiggles the mouse pointer to prevent screen saver activation, sleep, or any such activity that may be triggered by computer inactivity.
Check the ‘Enable jiggle’ checkbox to begin jiggling the mouse; un-check it to stop. The ‘Zen jiggle’ checkbox enables a mode in which the pointer is jiggled ‘virtually’ – the system believes it to be moving but the pointer does not actually move.
You can download it GitHub.
