How to keep Windows 7 from sleeping while scanning the PC
Solution 1:
The perfect solution would be if MSE could run some custom commands when it starts and some others after it finish, like it’s explained here for O&O.
But something tells me that it isn’t near that smart, so you might be able to make it smart by using the EventGhost’s Task Create/Switch Events plugin and combine the knowledge of powercfg
command from previous post you could make it work.
Solution 2:
Insomnia is a free tool that prevent a machine from going to sleep
Solution 3:
have you tried keeping the scanning window maximized and not minimized/resized if not already?
I noticed that when watching movies not in fuill screen, it goes to sleep but if i go fullscreen, does not go to sleep. Funny thing is when the movie ends, it goes to sleep right away...
seems dumb suggestion, but perhaps it works the same way?
