I guess some people use this to bypass the screen-saver kicking in
It might have religeous purposes too:

I could use it to foil our security folk who want to kill my RDP sessions after 10 minutes, forcing me to re-enter a 22-character password to get back in about 30 times per day.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I'll have to look at that on my personal PC. My employer has nanny software that blocks sites it thinks are shareware/freeware sites.

Which rules it out for me. I'll just suffer in (near) silence.

Why not just set your screen timeout longer?
|
|
|
|
|
Because IT won't let you override their timeout, and are using when the screen is open as a way to track your activity.
Of course such snoopy companies would never actually look at what you're doing and notice you're just fidgeting with the mouse all day.

If I was in that situation I'd change my employment settings to 'Elsewhere'.

bigger companies mostly disable users to change registry settings...

My employment setting isn't stored in or controlled by the windows registry.

my boss is really a micro-management person and I need to pay attention to its monitoring my activities...

I guess this is fine if you don't have your screen lock automatically for security reasons, after a certain period of time.
I could never use this at work or home. but, interesting, yes.

I have a software variation of it, called MouseJiggler. It requires no install and does the same, also with the option of not actually moving the cursor but tricking the system.
I used it when I was working from home from my personal PC (strictly forbidden but it was the only one I could use sensible software with) and didn't want to appear inactive on Teams.

Seems a little overkill to me, going the hardware way.
I also have trouble with my OS logging out extremely often, and no setting in the registry has been able to prevent that.
So I wrote a small utility program that can keep the system from logging out. Took very little time and works like a charm.

I wrote this at a former employer that used to do this. It works quite well.
Mouse Mover(very ugly) [^]
ymmv.
For those of you who are "I would change employment" Sure but not everyone is in that situation. Also, In previous employer I couldn't change registry settings etc. and "Teams" said I was away after 5minutes and that wasn't overridable either. I didn't really want to change at that point but some people like to keep track of others. Sooo, I wrote this little script.
It was very annoying to have someone say. Well it looked like you were away from your desk so I didn't try to contact him. To my boss. (They weren't actually wanting to contact me they just wanted to blame me).
Anyway, everyone is in a different situation.
