How to keep laptop screen on when Administrator has Power & Sleep settings locked to 10 minutes?

Its been done in LOTS of places. USB keys are the worst for attacks on networks and its very easy through group policies to block USB keys but not keyboards/mice.

Any buying some weird ass mouse jiggler from Amazon to use in a USB port is a perfect example of why those policies exist.

Go look at powershell.. you'll find a lot of small scripts that do this very easily.

That's my point though.... these mouse jigglers are essentially mice that just happen to move on their own. It's not a storage thumb drive which is what bios allows to be blocked.

So no external mice or keyboards? I don't see how that would work unless corporate boxes start coming with bios detection settings which look for a proprietary KB/Mouse ID to enable it.

This wouldn't be the same as locking out USB memory sticks, the jiggler dongles should be just seen as an external mouse. The fact that it moves every 5 minutes or so would be irrelevant to how it's seen to the PC.

USB-C / TB docks
 
it may have been said already, but I'm not going to look through 3 pages to find out; there is software that tells the system a mouse / trackpad is in use so the system looks like it's actively being used. the original purpose was to make it look like someone was at their PC during working hours when they weren't.

And as stated if you read through 3 pages.. that can get locked down and general users don't have that ability.

This is why I said look at powershell.

Not the mention the very simple script I posted earlier... Powershell scripts can require elevated privileges to run. The vbs script I posted needs nothing special.
