A few months ago I started having the most bizarre computer issue. When streaming video on full screen, the mouse pointer would constantly "come back alive", breaking the full screen mode and being an absolute fucking pain in the ass. I tried video drivers, different browsers, windows config, graphics cars config... I measured it, and it happened at exactly a 60 second interval. So, I reckoned, it had to be a service or background program. Last week I finally found the culprit: Sparrow Wallet. Why and how and what the hell does Sparrow do to make the mouse pointer pop up every 60 seconds? No idea. But I stopped running Sparrow when I watch full screen video, and the problem automatically disappeared. nostr:note12rfn58u8rgpkjvsya3g0y0m0566vjrgq73y0j8kumxd9vxfmjeqqsq6ufh

Try turning off Prevent Computer Sleep in the Tools menu. There are other applications you can use to achieve this functionality, or better yet run Sparrow Terminal for background mixing without the need to keep your desktop awake.
