    Is there a way to disable sleep while certain programs are running?


    This is the best place I could think of for this question.
    I'm looking for a way to keep my computer from sleep when I have certain programs from running.
    I'm most likely looking for an application that runs in the background with a list of some sort, and if a program on that list is open, the computer will not sleep after the "1 hour" of inactive mouse use, that I have set in power options.

    There is no setting in the programs I am using to stop sleep

    Have a look at this thread (a program in karlsnook's post if none of the others make sense )

    How do I prevent going to sleep with processes active?

I noticed this issue a little while back. As I shutdown/restart my laptop, I notice it switches to a secondary desktop that has been running programs. A good example would be trying to open my Task Manager, I can Ctrl-Alt-Del and it will allow me to open Task Manager - however when I click on...
