What’s does F15 does? My keyboard only goes to F12
Comment on Microsoft Teams status

From the webpage:
If you have problems with your PC locking or going to sleep, caffeine will keep it awake. It works by simulating a keypress once every 59 seconds, so your machine thinks you’re still working at the keyboard, so won’t lock the screen or activate the screensaver.

I can’t install unapproved software on my work laptop, probably like most others hence I ain’t messing with that.

For what it’s worth, with Caffeine, it’s a single, portable executable, so it doesn’t need to be installed in the conventional sense, but if your IT department monitors processes or whitelists what is allowed to run, this would still be a problem.

The best is to get a physical mouse jiggler

Preferably one that moves your current mouse. The USB dongles all have the same hardware id and can be tracked.
