Actions stops ramdomly.

[pawelantczak]

Hello.

I'm using MM 24/7 on dedicated machine. Recently app stoped to perform actions.
It happened once last week and two times today.
I'm attaching log.

It seems that actions were stopped at 2026-02-09 14:10 and after 15m Windows went sleep.

Move Mouse.log

Hi @pawelantczak,

Thank you for the log. I think I can see the issue.

It looks like the background job which is looking to automatically pause Move Mouse if it detects user activity isn't fully stopped when the actions are executed, so it is tricking itself into thinking the activity is from a user.

Could I ask your to attach your Settings.xml file so I can see how you have it configured?

Thanks,
Steve

See if this resolves the issue.

https://github.com/sw3103/movemouse/releases/tag/v4.19.2

[pawelantczak]

Thank you very much.
I can see v4.19.2 tag, but no commits. Nothing has changed?

[sw3103]

I restructured to remove the 3x version so it's not obvious what changed but it was this piece of logic here to check that the status was still executing.

HI @pawelantczak did this resolve your issue?

[pawelantczak]

So far so good. I didn't experience any random stops.

[pawelantczak]

Update. It happened again.

I have this issue now as well, but oddly I have never re-installed MouseMove in a long long time, yet the About window shows I have version 4.19.3.... Is the program self-updating without asking the user?

I also think there's a possibility something in Windows 11 has changed. Currently MouseMove will only move the mouse if MouseMove is the top program/focused window. If I click on MouseMove, and then on something else, like "Explorer", and wait.... the green circle will start going around as it should once I am idle, but when it does the red circle, the mouse will not move. It will move though, if MouseMove is clicked on itself.

[sw3103]

@pawelantczak I have uploaded a new release that I am hoping will fix this issue.

https://github.com/sw3103/movemouse/releases/tag/v4.19.4

Please test and let me know the outcome. I appreciate it may take some time for the issue to reoccur.

If you downloaded Move Mouse from the Microsoft Store and have App updates enabled then you will automatically receive updates.

Please try with the version I have just made available which I am hoping will resolve this issue:

https://github.com/sw3103/movemouse/releases/tag/v4.19.4

Look at the Troubleshooting section in the wiki to enable logging and send it to me if this issue reoccurs.

Regarding your second point about Windows 11, it may be related to the following issue:

#110

Please either add comments to that thread or create a new issue so that we can keep this one on point.

Thanks
