I'm using a laptop and since I installed DisplayFusion the standby mode is "messed up".

Standby activation at battery: after 20 minutes
Standby activation with power supply: disabled

Power supply is connected, but DisplayFusions send's the laptop to standby mode!

System log entry Source: DisplayFusionService

Code
Copy
Select All

PowerEvent wurde vom Dienst erfolgreich verarbeitet.
(PowerEvent processed successful by service)

And this happens not only after 20 minutes, sometimes already after ~5 minutes.

OS: Windows 8.1 (64bit)

DisplayFusion doesn't have any functionality that tells the computer to enter sleep or standby. Is it doing this at the desktop, or at the lock screen? Also, if you exit DisplayFusion, does this still happen?

Thanks for you reply!

Not tested at lock screen, only at desktop.
And yeah, when I turn off DisplayFusion it's not happening anymore.

Helped myself out now with a little tool called "DontSleep":

That's a neat tool! I'm not sure why the computer would have been sleeping, but glad to hear you found a workaround
