You’re watching a movie on your computer, a Power Point presentation or simply downloading a program?
All of these operations do not require the use of mouse then the computer automatically goes to sleep suddenly, all of a sudden, the screen goes black. How many times have you happened to that? This happens after a period of ” laziness “, when the system detects no input from the mouse or keyboard.
Everything lies in the power settings of Windows, seeking to save energy when it detects inactivity PC. The energy-saving systems mean that every X minutes (we can also choose from the settings) the device goes into standby mode, or a standby mode, great for avoiding the unnecessary use of electricity, but annoying when you were performing, downloads and other situations in which we would like our computer remains active and continues to work.
But now thanks to a simple free program, freely downloadable from the Internet this can be solved. There is a specific program: how to simulate the movement of the mouse.
1.) As you probably know, all it takes is an occasional jiggle of the mouse to keep the system humming. You must download the program Mouse Jiggler you can find here. It allows you to simulate the movement of the mouse when you’re not in front of the PC, you just turn it on and off you go. You will notice that there is no need to install in RAR archives that you just downloaded, you’ll find the executable MouseJiggler.Exe.
You just have to open by the executable program and access the very simple that allows you two options: Enable Jiggler, namely to ensure that our mouse is moving really on the desktop; Zen Jiggler, which will simulate the movement of the mouse cursor but without actually make any movement (recommended). As soon as you start the program, you can go out in peace without the risk of having to stop your downloads in progress as the software will simulate the presence of a person in front of the PC, moving the mouse, the computer will not allow access to the stand-by.
2.) Jiggler mouse is a simple program whose sole function is to ” fake ” mouse input to Windows and ” Jiggler “, the mouse pointer (back and forth). Useful for avoiding screensavers or other things triggered by the detection of inactivity that cannot be disabled in any other way; or a quick way to stop a screensaver activation during installation or in a long monitoring operation, without having to actually change the screen saver settings.
The application provides two options: normal movement, with which you will see the cursor movement mode and ” zen “, which performs much the same function but without showing the movement of the cursor. This can solve all the ” hassle ” that the standby mode causes. Enough clicks and the problem is solved!
3.) When you get back from your commitments, or you have completed the lengthy installation, just uncheck the two options that the program allows you and MouseJiggler stop moving the mouse for you, allowing you to take full control of your PC. In fact, you can maintain control while the check is active, we recommend to those who are so forgetful as not to remember to activate the software.
Obviously, there are many other programs that will allow similar results, but I would recommend this for its simplicity and because it exempts from the installation. In addition, the application uses very little space on your hard drive (especially important for those who use a computer at work and requires space and memory) is an asset to the user’s fingertips, fresh and innovative, suitable for any platform and for any user, even for those not so familiar with the computer! Try it.
4.) There are also programs that can click automatically. They work by recording operations performed by hand and repeating them. However, such programs are dangerous for the safety of our PC. We can come across the virus, threatening to completely reset the memory of our PC obviously losing all our data, but also for the anti-cheating for which you may run into criminal penalties.
It is, in most cases, the so-called ” bot ” that are absolutely illegal. Software as Mouse Jiggler does anything wrong, it’s practical, intuitive and saves you a few hiccups entirely legally. This program is donationware, free to be tried, the author accepts and encourages donations towards further development.
