This wikiHow teaches you how to prevent your computer from going to sleep when you're not actively typing or moving the mouse. This can be helpful when you're downloading something huge, installing large updates, compiling software, or doing any other activity that requires your computer to stay running while you're not actively using it. Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS all have built-in features that let you keep your computer awake as long as you need to. If you're using Windows, also have the option of installing a Power Toys tool called Awake that makes it extra simple to toggle this feature on and off.

Using a Mac

  1. Step 5 Drag the "Computer sleep" slider all the way to the right.
    Not all Macs have this slider, so don't panic if you don't see it. If you do have it, dragging the slider all the way to the right sets it to Never, which means your Mac will never turn off (even if you allow the display to sleep).[2]
    • If you don't have this slider, just continue to the next step.
