I use windows 8.1 on my laptop.
In power setting, it is configured to dispower the monitor after a minute of inactivity.

The bot is working perfect in background mode, but when I left the computer the monitor is dispowered and the bot fails to find the barracks and fails also to start an attack. Then when I return and make an activity on the computer the monitor is powered again and bot starts to work normally. I see the the failure when I later investigating the logs.

Is there a soluton to this screen dispowering situation. Actually I don't want the screen to consume power when I am not using the computer.

if you turn off display in power settings, the bot cant find the pixels since it's not being rendered

Got something to add?
