Prevent laptop from going into standby

I just switched from a Serato controller to a Rekordbox controller (DDJ-1000). But now my laptop goes into standby mode (after a while) while performing with Recordbox. With Serato that never happened.

I know I can tell Windows to never go into standby mode (using the power settings) but I'd much rather have this is done automatically like Serato did.

Is there a setting in Recordbox somewhere I've missed that can accomplish this?

On MacOS I know the laptop won't go into standby if Rekordbox is in full screen mode.

Are you running it in full screen on Windows?

I'm switching between Windowed en Full Screen constantly so I'm not sure it's in full screen when the laptop goes into standby. Let me do another test.

Even without the application full-screen, it shouldn't go to sleep -- check your Windows power settings, those are able to override everything else.

Yes, laptop goes to standby even when Rekordbox is in full screen mode.

I know I can override with the Windows Power Settings, but I'd rather not. I like it that my laptop automatically goes to standby mode. Just not when I'm spinning. :)

@Cliff > Then create a second profile that you switch to while DJing, one which is configured to prevent the computer from going to sleep.
