Avoid screen off

[Marco N]

Hi, I'm searching for a way to avoid screen off. I have tried this script belowe but unsucessfully
Thanks for any help.

Code: Select all

SetTimer, MoveMouse, 60000 ; Run MoveMouse every 1 minute

MoveMouse:
    MouseMove, 1, 0, 1, R  ;Move the mouse one pixel to the right
    MouseMove, -1, 0, 1, R ;Move the mouse back one pixel
return

Or...
Windows->Settings->System->Power & sleep->Screen->When plugged in, turn off after->Never
Windows->Settings->System->Power & sleep->Sleep->When plugged in, PC goes to sleep->Never

Sorry for my late reply and the error on where post the answer, and thanks for your help. I have a limited access to PC so I'can't change some settings. I try to undestrand #Persistent command.

I have tried in this way but it doesn't work:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
SetTimer, MoveMouse, 60000 ; Run MoveMouse every 1 minute

MoveMouse:
    MouseMove, 1, 0, 1, R  ;Move the mouse one pixel to the right
    MouseMove, -1, 0, 1, R ;Move the mouse back one pixel
return

These are not physical actions. My general understanding is that physical actions might be necessary in some situations where the monitor is set to shut off automatically.

You mean there are no solutions to the problem?
