Move Mouse is a free Windows 10 user activity simulator app. By user activity simulator, I mean you can give the app instructions to perform a certain action after every few seconds so the computer doesn’t go into sleep mode. For example, when you are running a process or downloading a big file which will take a long time to complete. But you cannot be in front of the computer for the entire duration, then you can set this app to move mouse cursor every few seconds so the computer doesn’t go into sleep or hibernation mode.
The user activity simulator app can be downloaded from the Windows 10 store or from the link given at the end of this article. When you download this app and launch it, you will see a lovely interface like the one shown in the screenshot below.
To set a action to be performed go to the settings icon. When you click the settings icon a black window will open up with lots of options on it, as can be seen in the screenshot below.
