Wake Computer Monitor with Automatic Batch File

[low dome]

Alright, quick question for yall. Is there a line of code I could pop into a scheduled batch file to simulate a keypress? The monitor turns off on a schedule, and with any luck a simulated keypress will be enough to wake it on a schedule too

Not sure if this will work, but if the monitor just requires mouse movement or a keystroke, write a little AutoIt or AutoHotKey script to jiggle the mouse a bit or hit a few keys and have task scheduler run that

Is there a good way to do that in batch file format? Im unfamiliar with the autohotkey system and frankly the interface scares me

[drifting jackal]

I can see if I can make one in a batch file

[drifting jackal]

autohotkey is pretty simple tho

So your monitor just goes to sleep and your pc stays on?

I have the monitor set up with another batch script to automatically turn off at 10:00pm. I'd like it to wake back up at 7:00am or so. The PC itself is always on, just turning off the display
