Windows 10: Can I use gpedit.msc to stop PC from going to sleep during a process?

I have a couple of applications which do not automatically stop the PC from going to sleep when undergoing a process.


This means i either have to guess how long the process will take and set the sleep timer accordingly or restart the process and sit with the PC until finished.


I currently have my PC set to sleep after 15 mins. I particularly want keep fiddling with this setting.

I have read somewhere that this can be achieved via the local group policy access i.e. gpedit.msc


Is this true and is so , can someone guide me?

I can't set a slideshow in the Lock Screen and one of the Microsoft suggestions to use gpedit msc didn't work

I can't set up a slideshow for the lock screen. I can select a picture from the computer or I can select one of the Windows 10 standard pictures. If I select slideshow it doesn't change the PREVIEW and when the computer is inactive I get a black screen.

One of the suggestions made by Microsoft in response to this problem in another post was to run gpedit msc. I have tried this or gpedit.msc or gpedit and in all cases the message I get is gpedit or gpedit.msc or gpedit msc "is not recognised as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

How do I fix the lock screen problem or invoke the local group policy editor?

 

iTunes stops playing when the computer go to sleep

Hi Ross,

Sleep mode is designed to stop all actions on a computer as it puts the device to a low-power state. Since you want to continue using a program even while your computer is locked, we suggest turning off Sleep mode by following these steps:

• Click Start.
• Go to Settings.
• Click System.
• Choose Power & Sleep from the left pane.
• Under Sleep, choose Never.
