Hi,

How do i cancel a sleep event from happening, along with things like the lid closing and causing a sleep.

The general power management strategy is to turn off everything that can be turned off as soon as it can be turned off, for as long as it can be turned off.


There are certain strategies that could be used to thwart this, but of course they are not documented or supported, and we would most likely eliminate them if they became widely known/used, since we generally consider them low priority bugs, rather than features.

Running a laptop at or near its normal thermal boundaries with the clamshell closed, even if it's on line power, is generally not a good idea. The keyboard and adjacent interior surface provides part of the normal cooling. While you can run this way with external monitor, keyboard, etc., disabling the internal display only gets you part of your budget back, and you will most likely find yourself thermally throttled on performance.

Rather than asking about cancelling sleep, maybe you want to state a goal, instead?
