I was trying to watch a training video and the computer keeps going idle; the
video is still playing but I have to click my profile icon to be able to see
it. If I don't shake the mouse periodically, it goes idle.

Help!

Right click on the title bar of Windows Media Player
Select tools> options.
Uncheck the box "Allow screen saver during playback."
Click apply and OK.

Now the screensaver should not affect the playback.
