  1. Prevent from going to sleep after the end of a video, or an audio playlist


    Running windows 11.There's this annoying behavior when the computer goes to sleep immediately after the end of a movie watched with VLC. I just also noticed yesterday this happening at the end of an audio playlist listened with Bee player.Every time, I've not been interacting with the computer for some time, and it seems like: the sleep timer is counting this time of watching video or listening to playlist from the last moment I interacted with the computer yet postponing going to sleep because of the application? but when the video/playlist has ended, the count is checked, and since I

  2. Song Titles, Artist, Album names in burned Playlist

    I have an extensive music collection, but most listening is to playlists. I have tried to follow all hints, suggestions, and directions found (even purchased Uniconverter). Unfortunately, I have never been able to produce a Cd which will play on a car audio system and display song names, artist, etc. on the player screen. Can someone please outline a step by step procedure for either beginning with an existing playlist, or creating one, then continuing through all of the steps necessary to produce a playable Cd with track and artist info displayed.

    PC Wakes from sleep immediately and It will not go to sleep at all

    From the output you provided, there are several processes and drivers that could be causing your PC to wake up immediately after being put to sleep:

    Windows Runtime Package: Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_8wekyb3d8bbwe: This is related to the Alarms & Clock app in Windows.

    . It appears twice in your output, once under DISPLAY and once under SYSTEM. This could mean that an alarm is set or a timer is running, preventing the system from going to sleep.

    Opera GX Browser: This is listed under both DISPLAY and EXECUTION. The browser might be playing audio or video content, or running a script that is preventing the system from sleeping.

    USB Audio Device (USB\VID_0951&PID_16A4&MI_00\7&3321d09b&1&0000): This is listed under SYSTEM and indicates that an audio stream is currently in use.

    . This could be due to any audio being played or a device connected to your system that is actively using the audio driver

    Legacy Kernel Caller: This is listed under SYSTEM. It's a system process that can be triggered by various hardware or software conditions. It's often associated with external hardware devices.

    As for the sound and opera, it is probably that when you made the command, you had opera and the sound open at the same time.

    To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

    -Make sure no alarms are set or timers are running that could be preventing your system from sleeping.

    -Close or adjust settings in the Opera GX browser: Make sure no audio or video content is playing and no scripts are running that could be preventing your system from sleeping.

    -Check your audio settings and devices: Make sure no audio is being played. If you have an external audio device connected, try disconnecting it to see if that resolves the issue.

    -Check for external hardware: The Legacy Kernel Caller is often associated with external hardware. Try disconnecting any external devices to see if that resolves the issue.
