User activity
When nobody has used the computer (no user input, or no mouse and keyboard activity) for a given period of time.
Mouse-only or keyboard-only activity PLUS
Separate Mouse Movement and Keyboard Pressed triggers, for when only one of the two should count.
User/system process or Windows service
When a process or service is either running or stopped.
Computer display
When the display has been on, or off, for a given period of time.
CPU, disk, network, download or upload activity
Depending on whether an activity value is below or over a certain threshold for a specific period of time.
Reachable devices on the network
Depending on whether a given device is reachable or not through the network.
Network connections
When there is an active connection on a given IP address or hostname and port — for example someone streaming from a media server on this computer.
HTTP (Get/Post) requests PLUS
Depending on whether a web request to another application or device returns the result you expect.
Power requests PLUS
Depending on whether another application is asking Windows to keep the system or display awake.
Date/time
At a specific date and time, once or on a repeating schedule, or after a given period of time.
Wake Up Computer
Wake the computer from a sleep state on your own schedule — once, every few hours, every few days, or weekly on the days you choose.
Supported Sleep States
Detects which sleep states your computer supports and lets you enable or configure each one.
Profiles and the Simple Profile Wizard
Keep separate sets of rules as Profiles and switch between them from the tray. The Simple Profile Wizard builds a first profile for you in a few steps.
Day/time profile scheduling PLUS
Have AutoStandByPro switch profiles automatically on the days and times you set.
Background service PLUS
Detects activity in every Windows session on the computer, not just your own — useful on a shared PC.
Backup and restore
Save all your profiles and rules to a file, and restore them later or on another computer.
Everything not marked PLUS is free. See AutoStandByPro Plus for the full comparison.
