My Question or Issue

Using Open Spotify it prevents the screen from sleeping. Is there a way to change that behaviour?

Hey there @klappis,

thanks for posting in the community !

 

"...The good news is that a fix for this is in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. With this update playback on Spotify can continue while the screen is off to conserve your battery power. While you might not have this update yet, you can update Windows manually by going here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028685/windows-10-get-the-fall-creators-update. The music will, however, stop when your computer goes to sleep. You can control the sleep settings in the Power & sleep settings..."

 

Hope this helps 😃

Thank you! The problem i had the creators update or 1809 installed for several months. Disabling Javascript breaks the whole page so it doesn't help either. Are there any alternative way to stop Spotify keeping my monitor alive?
