The VideoLAN Forums

I have Windows 10 on a hybrid tablet (Asus T101HA) and when I start VLC playing some music (M4A files), windows makes the PC go to sleep mode after a few minutes.

Is there an option in VLC or Windows to prevent that? Besides turning the sleep feature off altogether, which is not a good idea for a tablet.

Google found a similar question here, but no answer.

I used VLC 2.2.8 and will try v3.0.2 (I am already installing it, but the PC is so slow, you'll answer here before it finishes...)

Update to 3.0.

I did, it is the same.

I use the zipped version. (v3.0.2)

I think it only works with video files, not with audio only files.

Is there any solution?

I'll check how other players behave. The link in the first post suggest the Windows Player has this solved.
