Hi

I have went across the following thread

I saw a script shared by @marian.platonov

Just want to know, if the f15 key is not present in mschine , which key wr should use in script ?

Hello @NNR

Save this below text in notepad as keepactive.vbs or any name but extension should be .vbs

Set ws = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
Do
ws.SendKeys “{F15}”
WScript.Sleep 50000 ’ Waits 50 seconds
Loop

Hope this will work

If you look at vb script ,

Set ws = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”): Creates a script shell object to send keystrokes.
ws.SendKeys {F15}: Simulates pressing the F15 key.
WScript.Sleep 50000: Waits for 50 seconds.
Loop: Repeats forever.
