Does this also prevent reboots from Windows 10 crappy updates?

I doubt that

I generally use the “pause updates” feature the day before I give a presentation. It should stop windows doing any updates/reboots while you’re delivering a talk :)

Sadly, it seems that the presentationsettings.exe is only available on Windows 10 PRO, not on home.

Enable Presentation Mode permanently on Windows

I want to enable the presentation mode forever on my Windows 10 device. When I turn it on, it again turns off after reboot or sign out. I have also tried to set the values through registry, but seems not to be working.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MobilePC\AdaptableSettings\SkipBatteryCheck > 1

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MobilePC\MobilityCenter\RunOnDesktop > 1

The main reason why I want to enable it is, it's an unattended PC and I have tried all power settings to turn the sleep off. But after some time it goes to sleep mode.

  • So, from what I understand, you don't need to enable windows presentation mode, you need to prevent the PC from sleeping right? –  Genesis_GDK Jun 6, 2017 at 13:45
  • Yes. Since I tried all other option that I know and those are not working. But this presentation mode works well unless the device is rebooted. –  Gaurav Jun 6, 2017 at 14:52

In order to enable presentation mode forever, I suggest you create a startup script to invoke it.

To control the presentation settings, you can call the executable directly, followed by the arguments. Example:

or, to stop:

If the first line is scheduled to run at boottime then Presentation mode will always be activated.

  • Can you confirm that this works for you? –  Genesis_GDK Jun 11, 2017 at 11:24

Your main goal from what your question shows, is to prevent your system from switching off the screen or hibernating or anything like that. In which case, if you have tried disabling all the energy saving features that you know of, and the PC is still hibernating, then I suggest you use Caffeine. It costs nothing and it's adware free.

Caffeine works in a rather simple way to try and prevent your computer going into standby, the screen from shutting off or even the screensaver kicking in. This is to simulate a key press once every 59 seconds so Windows is fooled into thinking you’re using your computer when in fact, you aren’t.

Get it from zhornsoftware, and the link below: zhornsoftware.co.uk/caffeine/index.html#download

  • Yes, I have replicated same thing in my application (which runs always on device) what Caffeine does, triggering F15 key press event every 50 seconds. Will have to wait till 24 hours to make sure that it's working. Isn't there a way to enable the presentation mode forever? –  Gaurav Jun 6, 2017 at 14:55

Set up your presentation

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

Before you give your presentation in front of an audience, you can rehearse it with your slides. Watch this video to find out how.

First, go to the SLIDE SHOW tab and make sure Use Presenter View is selected.

For rehearsal, you can press ALT+F5 to display the Presenter view on a single screen.

Rehearsing this way will help you get comfortable with your slides, and give you practice using the Presenter view.

Draw on or highlight slides during a presentation

Turn your mouse into a laser pointer

Add speaker notes to each slide in a presentation

Before you give your presentation in front of an audience, you can rehearse it with your slides using the Presenter view.

During the show, you'll use dual monitors, but for rehearsal, you can press ALT+F5 to display the Presenter view on a single screen.

Keep in mind that when you are using the Presenter view, you are in Slide Show mode, so you can’t edit your slides or notes.

This is good, because it prevents you from unintentionally altering your slides during a show.

Laptops are used by many presenters for both creating and running their shows.

Most laptops available today have dual monitor capabilities built in.

So when you arrive at the presentation room, all you have to do is plug the presentation projector or monitor into the connector on your laptop and you are ready to go.

Start the show to make sure everything is working.

If you want to change which monitor shows the Presenter view, click DISPLAY SETTINGS , and then, click Swap Presenter View and Slide Show .

Before the audience arrives, run through some your slides to make sure everything works and you can see your laptop.

Also, make sure any non-essential programs, like email and browsers, are closed and your desktop is clean.

These other programs slow down your computer, and can cause a distraction if the audience sees them.

The last thing to do is start the Slide Show .

Plan your PowerPoint presentation, so the audience sees a welcome slide as they enter.

This way, the audience will know immediately that you are ready to begin.

Up next, we'll give the presentation using the Presenter view.

Hybrid sleep is disabled, but I don't want it to not go into sleep mode ever, just to not sleep while in powerpoint presentation mode. It doesn't sleep when a video is playing, I want that same "view this as activity" type setting for powerpoint. I didn't have an issue with this on my previous windows 10 laptop so there was obviously some setting there that allowed it to stay awake if powerpoint was on.

How to change the size of your google slides.

Present your slideshow in the right way

Google Slides has an impressive number of templates for creating beautiful presentations. It's been the go-to choice for many users who don't use Microsoft PowerPoint and an easy-to-access alternative for well-equipped Chromebooks . If your slides are too small or too wide, they may not scale well to the content shown on the screen. This guide teaches you how to change the size of the slides in your Google Slides presentation on a browser to ensure you use the correct size.

What's the difference between Google Slides templates and themes?

Which size works best with google slides.

It depends on where the presentation is viewed. Most computers use a 16:9 aspect ratio, but mobile devices prefer a 4:3 ratio. If unsure, test the slideshow on multiple devices and decide which gives the most optimal viewing experience.

How to resize your Google Slides on a Windows computer

You can decide the size of your slides before creating your presentation. Alternatively, open an old presentation and choose to resize your slides. Check the steps below to get started.

Changing Google Slides size on a new presentation

All the slides maintain the same aspect ratio you selected. If you're uncertain whether any default options suit your presentation, tweak the ratio by choosing Custom .

Changing Google Slides size on a saved presentation

After swapping the aspect ratio, you may need to adjust your Google Slides presentation. In this example, we swapped the aspect ratio from Standard 4:3 to Widescreen 16:9, which changes the alignment of images and text on each slide.

How to resize your Google Slides on a Chromebook

You're likely sticking to Google's ecosystem while working on a Chromebook. Google Slides becomes an essential tool when building a presentation. Google Slides works like the Windows computer version, so changing the slides' size is simple. Here's how to do it:

  • On a Chromebook, open Google Slides on a Chrome tab.
  • In the Page setup window, select the drop-down box and choose Standard 4:3 , Widescreen 16:9 , Widescreen 16:10 , or Custom .

The Google Slides app works on Chromebooks but has the same (limited) functionality as the mobile app (the app you download from the Google Play Store is the Android app ported to Chromebooks).

How to expand the size of your Google Slides presentation

Sometimes, presentations can start in the wrong view. Fullscreen mode ensures the set aspect ratio of the slideshow remains the same on the screen. However, the audience may see another view if you select the wrong mode before starting your presentation. The view you can accidentally click is Presenter View.

Inside Presenter View, the audience sees a fullscreen presentation of your Google Slides (if presented on a different screen), while you see the speaker notes written below the slides and some settings. Seeing a busier screen can distract the speaker, especially if the slides remain in autoplay . As a result, you may prefer to set up fullscreen mode. Below are the steps to ensure your Google Slides start in fullscreen mode.

How to enter fullscreen mode on Google Slides

Clicking the Slideshow button also puts your presentation in fullscreen mode.

How to resize your Google Slides on mobile

The slide size in Google Slides on the Android and iOS mobile apps cannot be manually changed. To get around this, open Google Slides on a computer and follow the steps above to adjust the size of your slides.

Revamp your Google Slides presentation

Does your current Google Slides presentation need a boost? Check out the best templates for Google Slides . Spice up your presentation to look more professional or change it to something more colorful and snappy. Google Slides also supports audio files from your Google Drive, so add audio to keep your audience engaged. Google Slides has several tools to make your slideshow stand out.
