I seem to have kind of the opposite problem as the one described in this question.

I am running foobar2000 (1.3.9) on my Windows 10 convertible laptop. When the screen turns off, either because the system was idle for a while, or because I press the lock button of the device, playback is automatically paused. It resumes as soon as I turn the screen back on (even when I'm still on the lockscreen).

Is there a way to have payback continue even when the device is locked?

You must Disable Connected Standby on your convertible laptop. But keep in mind it will drain your battery faster. Because it will allow desktop applications to run in background.

How to disable:

  1. Tap on the Windows-key, type regedit.exe and hit the Enter-key.

  2. Navigate to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power

  3. Locate the preference CsEnabled on the right side.

  4. Double-click on it, and set its value to 0.

  5. Restart the PC.
