[Bug] PC Falls Asleep with Move Mouse Active / Not staying active on Teams #36

Closed norimicry closed 2 years ago

norimicry commented 2 years ago

PC keeps falling asleep while using Move Mouse. Defeats the purpose of staying active. I use task scheduler to start/stop the program (schedules don't seem to work for me all the time) and every time I step away and come back, I notice my monitors are off and the PC is asleep. Would prefer not to change power settings.

Same for me :-( I have tried to change a lot of configuration parameters, but I always got the same results. As soon as the first timer expires, it stops working.

Dear Steve ! I have sent an e-mail to You with my configuration and log files attached.

Logs have been emailed after observing Teams set status to away while logging shows Move Mouse is active.

Hi Bela,

I can see the issue after reviewing your config file. You have a single Move Mouse Cursor Action, which has the Trigger set to Start.

`

<MoveMouseCursorAction>

  <Id>a98f011c-e93e-427d-b6a8-5031f4a2934a</Id>

  <Name>Default</Name>

  <IsEnabled>true</IsEnabled>

  <Repeat>true</Repeat>

  <Trigger>Start</Trigger>

  <Distance>5</Distance>

  <Direction>Square</Direction>

  <Speed>Normal</Speed>

  <Delay>5</Delay>

</MoveMouseCursorAction>

`

This means that when Move Mouse starts, it will execute this Action and then automatically stop as you have no Actions with a Trigger that is configured for Interval. Try changing the Trigger on this Action to Interval and see if that resolves your issue.

Thanks for the logs @cavazoshj. I'll reply in this thread for the benefit of any future observers.

I can see from the logs that your system idle time is being successfully reset each time Move Mouse performs your Move Mouse Cursor Action (this is the time span after each _autoPauseTimer_Elapsed):

I'm pretty sure your issue is to do with Teams itself, which doesn't seem to be easily fooled by routine mouse movements. You also mentioned in your mail that your were using the web version of Teams, which I don't personally have much experience with, but I would imagine will behave much the same as the client version.

Here is my suggestion - add the following Actions:

Hopefully with the random Directions and Speeds this will be enough to trick Teams.

Great suggestions. I've added the Active Application action as well as a Position Mouse Cursor action (because Teams web app doesn't look at universal activity like the desktop app, only window activity) and several Move Mouse Cursor actions. I'll let you know what I find.

norimicry commented 2 years ago

After adding the additional actions and watching for a couple days, the issue seems to have been user error and teams' advance away detection. Thanks, Steve. Great application. Closing issue.
