PC-StayAwake

Whether you are accessing a computer remotely from time to time or you are transferring large files, you need to make sure that your computer doesn’t enter Sleep mode. Since it is not practical to sit around the PC and move the mouse occasionally, you need to look into third party apps that specialize in preventing the device from entering Sleep mode.

As the name suggests, PC-StayAwake is a lightweight utility that mimics keyboard activity, ensuring that your PC remains active and available at all times.

The installation is straightforward and doesn’t need especially attention from your part. Upon launch, you are prompted to configure the tool by specifying the intervals for emulating keyboard action, as well as the overall time the app should keep doing this.

You can also make sure that the screenshot doesn’t pop while you are attempting to complete your task. While you can argue that you can avoid sleep mode altogether by configuring the screensaver settings, take note that this is not always possible.

It is worth mentioning that the program doesn’t have an interface, but rather just a small icon that you can access from the System Tray. Simply right-click on it to access the Configuration window again and set it up for another session of preventing sleep mode.

The program can come in handy in numerous situations, including when you are watching various movies or listening to music on your PC, although you are not near it. Another situation when keeping the PC awake is important is during meetings and presentations.

By simulating keyboard actions, PC-StayAwake prevents your PC from entering sleep mode or activating the screensaver, allowing you to maintain uninterrupted access and availability.
