It's keeping the display on that matters for S0 computers.
Right and simulating mouse movement will keep the display on as the system thinks it is being used.

It's keeping the display on that matters for S0 computers.
Because I like to work with my computers like I like to work with my machines in my mechanical workshop. I don't like it if a screwdriver hops in its toolbox to go to sleep

Yes. As a simple workaround, you can [as I said] set your display not to turn off.
No. It is not clever enough to know what you are doing. It's only a workaround so you can get your immediate tasks done.
When you have time, you can consider the better solutions I also described. S0 follows its own rules; S0 will not let you decide what you want for yourself [such as that 'set to never sleep' suggestion].
S0 is a curse.
I eventually chose to disable S0.
Best of luck,

This or something similar will keep the PC awake.

A simple utility that can be used to simulate user activity. Maybe you work from home and want to keep your remote session alive whilst you're away from your machine? Maybe you have a long running process that you want your machine to stay awake for? Move Mouse can be deployed in whole host of...apps.microsoft.com
Then consider the other options I described. The always on suggestion was, as I said, just a workaround until you decided on a decent solution.Unfortunately that is not what I am after.
You could set the length of time before the monitor goes to sleep.So that means the laptop is always on. Unfortunately that is not what I am after.
