How do I stop a PC from getting locked or going to sleep without having admin rights and any software installation?

Solution:

  1. Open the Command Prompt (cmd) as administrator:

    • Windows 10: Right-click on the Start button and select "Command Prompt (Admin)".
    • Windows 11: Press Windows Key + R, type "CMD", and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

  2. Type the following command:

powercfg -setdcvalueindex Scheme_Current 3ee0888d-cafe-4e46-9923-9e67d9d04a1e 0

This command modifies the power settings to prevent the PC from locking or sleeping.

  1. Restart your PC:

This will apply the new power settings.

Additional Tips:

  • Use a mouse jiggler or enable "mouse movement" in the power settings to prevent the PC from going to sleep due to inactivity.
  • Disable "fast startup" in the power settings as it can override modified power settings.
  • Manually create a registry key to disable sleep: Create a DWORD value named "DisableSleep" in HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power, and set its value to 1.

Related Questions and Answers:

  1. Can I use this method on Windows XP or Windows Vista? No, it only works on Windows 7 and later.
  2. Will this affect the battery life of my laptop? Yes, it can slightly increase battery consumption.
  3. Can I use a third-party app to do this? Yes, but this method does not require any software installation.
  4. Why is my PC still locking or sleeping after using this method? Make sure you restarted your PC after modifying the power settings.
  5. How can I re-enable sleep after using this method? Change the value of the DWORD key "DisableSleep" in the registry to 0.
