Windows Teamviewer prevents sleep

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Teamviewer running on an MSI gaming laptop that lives in a different room from me for VR gaming. Connecting to it from a Macbook using Teamviewer in another room.

If Teamviewer is installed (doesn't have to be connected) on the Windows machine, it will no longer sleep, ever. If I uninstall Teamviewer, it immediately resumes normal sleeping. Latest Teamviewer as of right now.

Is there a solution for this?

Exit Team Viewer, remove Team Viewer.exe from your desktop, open Program Files/ Team Viewer right click on Team Viewer application (Not Team Viewer Desktop application) and send to desktop as a shortcut. Restart your computer and let Team Viewer start on its own. Worked for me!

Wow so even months later... nothing. I guess Teamviewer is essentially abandonware now?

Seems this forum is pretty much abandoned? Only seems to be a handful of posts per day as far as I can tell. I'm really stunned that nobody has any comment on this issue which completely prevents me from using Teamviewer. Shame.

So nothing? Is this just a known and accepted issue with using TeamViewer?
