Master system sleeping when in use

[wheeliemonster]

Firstly - thank you for such an awesome piece of software. I've used it for years and love it!

My issue - I have my keyboard and mouse connected to my laptop (Surface Pro 7) and use this as the master to direct my desktop PC. I often use the desktop PC for gaming and therefore have extended periods where no mouse or keyboard activity is present.

I have "Keep this system awake" set on both machines, but the laptop still goes into standby/sleep while controlling the slave, which then returns me to the master with the master locked. Very frustrating when you need to quickly operate the mouse on the desktop PC!

Anything I can do to prevent the laptop from sleeping in this situation?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I have "Keep this system awake" set on both machines, but the laptop still goes into standby/sleep while controlling the slave, which then returns me to the master with the master locked. Very frustrating when you need to quickly operate the mouse on the desktop PC!

Is this happening whilst using the mouse/keyboard on the laptop? 

Regs,

Shane.

I have the mouse/keyboard connected to the laptop, but I've switched Input Director to the Desktop PC.

As I said, I will quite often then not touch the mouse/keyboard for some time.

While using the mouse/keyboard on the laptop itself (i.e. Input Director on the Master), no - sleep does not randomly happen while it's in use.

Thanks
