While-Loop Interuption after Screen-Saver

[b0x4it]

I have a code whit a while-loop that is running all the time. I made the executable version of it and it is in the list of processes in task manager. It works perfectly without any issue, but when I leave computer untouched for long time to goes to screen-saver mode, the loop stops. After this, when I touch the mouse the executable is still in the list of the running processes, but it does not do what it does before this. If this happened, the only solution is to exist the process and re-run the exe file again.

I should say that I disabled the sleep after a specific idle time. So this happens by just screen-saver or dimming the screen.

I have sleep(100) in the loop.

Any idea why this is happening and how I can avoid this is highly appreciated!

It all depends on what your script is doing, without knowing that we'd be guessing.

Post your script or at least a reproducer script that demonstrates the problem.

Sure, below is the simplified version of my cose (please excuse any typo).

This code is basicly the engine of my hotkeys. One of the hotkeys are just active when I am in an specific application. Once I leave that application, this code disable the hotkey. This is working perfectly, but when I leave my computer ON for long time (usually after it going to screen-saver mode), the while-loop is not working anymore. The executable is still in the running process list. I test this using the TestHotkey function which enables $temp2. When the loop is active, it shows the messagebox, but when the issue happens, no message box will appear! Any idea or solution?

Local $fActive = False

HotKeySet("+^!f", "TestHotkey")
HotKeySet("+^!{F4}", "ExitHotkey")

While 1

    If WinActive("Application Pro 4.5") <> 0 AND NOT $fActive Then
        HotKeySet("n", "ApplicationSendKey")
        $fActive = True
    ElseIf WinActive("Application Pro 4.5") = 0 AND $fActive Then
        HotKeySet("n")
        $fActive = False
    EndIf

    If $temp2 = True Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "loop is active")
        $temp2 = False
    EndIf

    Sleep(100)

WEnd

I found the problem. It has nothing to do with what I was thinking. The issue for another internal While-Loop, and it is now fixed. Sorry for this!
