It's keeping the display on that matters for S0 computers.

Right and simulating mouse movement will keep the display on as the system thinks it is being used.

Because I like to work with my computers like I like to work with my machines in my mechanical workshop. I don't like it if a screwdriver hops in its toolbox to go to sleep

Yes. As a simple workaround, you can [as I said] set your display not to turn off.

No. It is not clever enough to know what you are doing. It's only a workaround so you can get your immediate tasks done.

When you have time, you can consider the better solutions I also described. S0 follows its own rules; S0 will not let you decide what you want for yourself [such as that 'set to never sleep' suggestion].
S0 is a curse.
I eventually chose to disable S0.

Best of luck,

Thanks Kev. At the moment I am testing Microsoft Powertools (which is like shooting at an ant with a cannon), after that I will give this a try.

Then consider the other options I described. The always on suggestion was, as I said, just a workaround until you decided on a decent solution.
