I use a very handy program to record video streams so that I can watch them later on television. I set up the computer not to go to sleep when I am doing this, to keep my recording from being interrupted. So I change these settings frequently, but occasionally they do inexplicably change themselves.
The quickest way for me to change them back is by right clicking on a blank spot on the screen and then left clicking on Display Settings in the little box that appears. Then in the column on the left side of the screen that comes up you left click on “Power and Sleep” from there you can change the settings back to what you want them to be. The entire operation takes just a few seconds. This has happened enough to me over the years that I hardly remember that I have had to do it.
What program? I'd love to do that but haven't the time to experiment.
There must be some kind of app that could run and keep the comp fro sleeping while recording? Kind of a pain to keep having to change power settings.
