[SOLVED] Waptagent and Windows sleep

Hello,
I'm using wapt 1.5 community.
I've started deploying wapt in my computer labs (Windows 10), and I've noticed that most of the time, the workstations appear "disconnected" in the console. I assume this is due to Windows going into sleep mode.
Are you experiencing this problem, and is there a recommended setting to avoid it?
Thanks in advance

If the machines are in sleep mode or shut down, they will appear disconnected in the console because the Wapt service on the machine is also in sleep mode or stopped.
To avoid this, you must disable sleep mode on the PCs.
Alternatively, enable Wake-on-LAN and wake the machines when you want to manage them (this option is in the context menu "Start with WakeOnLAN," which only works if the Wapt server and the workstations are on the same subnet).
To disable sleep mode, a possible package is available here:

Hello,
`tis-disable-sleepmode` seems to disable too many things for my needs (screen sleep mode, for example), however, it's a good starting point for creating my own package.
What are the essential elements to disable to maintain the connection to the server? I was leaning towards hibernate, of course, but is that sufficient?
Thanks

D,
My previous message went out too quickly... Intuitively, I would think those two lines are enough, but if you could confirm...:
Code: Select all
run('"powercfg.exe" -change -standby-timeout-ac 0')
run('"powercfg.exe" -change -hibernate-timeout-ac 0')

Good morning,
We must add the following:
Our package completely disables standby mode:

Hello,
Is it normal that authentication is requested upon restarting?
I simply want to turn off the display, but when the screen is turned off, the user seems locked out.
Regards,
