RE: Anyway to "wake up" a "sleeping" Win10 PC with TightVNC?

Alternatively you can "Allow wake timers" in the power settings and wake the computer at fixed times using Windows Task Scheduler.
You can then for example access the computer between 09:00 and 17:00 and put it back to sleep again using Task Scheduler. Or wake every 4 hours for 5 minutes, whichever schedule suits the purpose. You can combine this schedule perhaps with the Windows Updates routine ;-)

All the best

Hello Fran_3,

This is an issue that TightVNC cannot solve. You could try with Wake-on-LAN. There is a lot of useful information on that online.

Oggetto: Anyway to "wake up" a "sleeping" Win10 PC with TightVNC?

At Location 1...
Instead of turning off the Win10Pro PC it is just put to sleep via clicking...
Start > Power > Sleep
it saves on power and wakes up easy by clicking Esc and/or moving the Mouse.

At Location 2
I try to connect to it using TightVNC and get...

either a message that it can't connect...
or...
"The Connection has been gracefully closed"
or...
nothing

The system is working as I can connect to another PC at the same location that is always left on...

Thanks for any help.
