Frequently Asked Questions (Windows)
How do I keep my screen on in Windows 11 without changing settings?
Simply click the Power button on this page. Modern web browsers (including Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome) use the official W3C Screen Wake Lock API to tell Windows to postpone screen sleep as long as this tab remains open.
Why does my work Windows laptop lock after only 3 to 5 minutes?
Corporate IT administrators configure centralized Windows Group Policies (GPO) or Mobile Device Management (MDM like Intune) that enforce strict inactivity timeouts to comply with SOC 2 and ISO security standards. Because these policies lock the Windows Settings app, you cannot change the sleep timeout manually.
Does this tool require Windows administrator permissions?
No. Keep Screen On operates completely inside your browser using standard Web API permissions. It does not install an executable (.exe), modify the Windows Registry, or require local admin credentials.
Does Keep Screen On work in Microsoft Edge?
Yes, 100%. Microsoft Edge is built on the Chromium engine and has full native support for the W3C Screen Wake Lock API. It works seamlessly on Windows 10, Windows 11, and Surface devices.
Is this safer than a USB mouse jiggler on a company laptop?
Yes. Enterprise endpoint security software (like CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Tanium) monitors hardware audit logs for unauthorized USB hardware vendor IDs. Browser-based wake lock requests are standard web behaviors and leave zero unauthorized hardware or driver footprints.
How does this compare to Microsoft PowerToys Awake?
PowerToys Awake is an excellent open-source tool, but it requires downloading and installing the full PowerToys suite from GitHub or Microsoft Store, which is often blocked by corporate IT. Keep Screen On provides the same display wake functionality instantly in your browser without any installation.
