Advanced Settings in Windows Utility

[Dannypot]

Hi,
I have noticed that no matter how often I change it, the FAH Client keeps changing my monitor sleep settings to turn monitors off after 20 minutes. I want to know if there is some way I can disable this as I often fd while watching a film and it keeps turning my screen off in the middle of the film I am watching. I am hoping that there is some switch I can stick in somewhere that wi stop F@H client from changing my Windows Power Management all the time.
It's Windows 10 Pro x64, A10-7700K (stock speed), 32GB RAM (DDR3-8500), R9-280X (stock speed), Asrock A88M-G/3.1 motherboard, SK hynix 256GB NVME boot drive

In Windows, click on the white flag in the lower left, then click on the Gears Icon (control panel)

Then search for Power

The screen timeout should be there, and there is a list of available timeout times, There are also Sleep timeouts, I recommend never..

I know that, but it keeps resetting the "turn monitor off after..." Setting back to 20 minutes whenever I have F@H client running. Hence asking whether there is some advanced settings in the Windows client that will stip this behaviour. It only happens when F@H client is running

Ps. Sorry for any typos, using phone to post on here lol

I dont think I've heard of fahclient ever changing power management settings itself. No options in it that I know of.

Did you install Fahview (the screensaver demo)?
It's entirely unneccessary to have this installed. It doesn't work correctly anyway.

FAHViewer works better in the recent releases, and it is not a screensaver. It is a separate piece of software.

I had no option to NOT install the viewer but this usually happens when I am not using keyboard or mouse and F@H is running. Whether I have a video running or not is irrelevant as it does this either way. I turn off the monitor timeout in Windows power management and it turns itself back to 20 minutes after a varying amount of time - always at 20 minute timeout and only when F@H client is running. Once I close F@H client, it reverts back to my previous setting of "Never"

As for FAH viewer, it kept failing to connect and only showed a demo proteine until I DOWNGRADED the viewer to an older release. I have the latest F@H client installed but the viewer is from a few releases ago as the latest one didn't connect (found that trick on another forum entry somewhere)

Latest release is 7.6.9, there is a beta release of 7.6.13.
