    Help: prevent sleep when using an app & run script on program start


    1. I would like to prevent my laptop from entering sleep mode when running a certain desktop application (Dopamine, a mp3 player). Playing music through Spotify prevents sleep, but the laptop sleeps while playing from Dopamine...
    2. I would like to create a simple script to press Alt+2 when I start a program (Steam). Any ideas on how to do this?

    Thanks! =)

    Unwanted Apps in Start, Need help with script

    Hi Denis

    Thanks for the Suggestion, but only if it were that easy...There is no such option as you can see by the image below.

    All I do is uninstall as you show, and that deletes the icon in All Programs list & the Start Tile, don't see your problem.
    All those you have listed that is all I have ever done. None are now in the All Programs list.

    There is no right click to Open program locations with these UWP/Apps.

    You have to do a lot of updating of UWP or Apps after the 1803 update.
    I would ensure everything is updated including MS Store before doing the uninstalls.

    I don't run any scripts at all. Very few of these re-appear after one of those 6 monthly version updates.

    I don't see the point in making a meal out of a 1 minute job.

    Unwanted Apps in Start, Need help with script

    The whole purpose of this is to complete a unfinished script I have set in place already that I'm using which works well without any integrity violations...but

    The point is that I'm trying to come up with a simple script addition, that automates this such described manual 1-minute job, and to turn that in to a 1-second script...

    In the original post I explain that I have a script that removes everything pre-installed already except for these few unwanted items which are left behind listed as tiles on start.

    The only pre-installed apps I have included to stay in my current script i'm working on are listed in my photo below, but the problem still remains as I have unwanted tiles listed in start I would like remove via a script so that could be included in the final one I'm working on.
