Will Gruss keep running if my laptop "sleeps"

[Ilnamar]

Apologies if this seems a daft question, I am new to this.

I am in Australia, setting up some conditional bets on UK racing overnight. At some point after I go to bed, my laptop will go into "sleep" mode....will Gruss keep running in the background and place the bets, or do I need to keep it fully powered?

thanks in advance...

Really depends on what you mean by 'sleep' mode if it's just the screen shutting off to save power you should be ok. But if the PC is set to go to standby then the computer effectively saves that state until something comes along to take it out of standby , gruss would be shut down during this period.

You need ensure that "Put the computer to sleep" is set to Never in your power options. Then the screen can turn off but the PC will stay awake and keep running.
