9/21/2023 0 Comments Tidal forces screensaver![]() What I ended up doing instead was leveraging screen saver on / off events 4802 (screensaver on) & 4803 (screensaver off) in the Security Event Log to start/stop mining. The Task Scheduler definition of idle might be tied to phases of the moon and blood sacrifice rituals for all I could figure out during my experiments with it. The "Run when idle" option in the Task Scheduler has a really weird definition of what constitutes system idle and did not work as expected or tie to the screen saver in any way. My goal here is to start and stop my mining batch job whenever the screensaver starts/stops without using 3rd party tools and instead using built in Windows functionality such as the Task Scheduler. I just hope this helps others in some small way. If you have a better solution or more optimized way of doing this, happy to hear. I understand Nicehash and other apps might have built in functions for this but if you're interested in using something more barebones like a batch file, this might help you. I slapped together the below in an effort to use my gaming / HTPC to mine when "idle" aka screen saver active using the built in tools available in Windows. ![]() Hi all - I wrote this post as a comment to an older thread and thought it would be good as it's own topic. ![]()
