    Windows 10 S0 modern standby is nice and all, but I can't figure a way to keep laptop awake while playing music over traditional desktop music player (AIMP). So far I enabled S3 instead of S0 in BIOS, but I don't like this solution since S0 wakes up much faster than S3.

    How do I prevent sleep with S0 modern standby enabled when AIMP is playing music on an otherwise idling Windows 10 machine?

    UWP or other desktop music players are not an option, since I need playback history for internet radio streams and only AIMP does that.
