Desktop Refresh when computer goes to Sleep mode

[michaelsh]

I have a big model that takes apprx. 15-20 minutes to refresh (in the Desktop app).

My computer is set to go to Sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Two questions:

1. Is it possible to somehow tell the computer that PBI refresh = activity, so it won't go to sleep

2. If it already went to sleep during the refresh, when I wake up the computer - will it continue from where it stopped?

Thanks

Hi @michaelsh ,

For your first question, I'm afraid you can't do that. For your secend question, In computers, entering a sleep state is roughly equivalent to "pausing" the state of the machine. When restored, the operation continues from the same point, having the same applications and files open.
