I have the S24 Ultra, s8 tablet, Galaxy 3 ultra and Samsung M80 screen.  They are all connected on the same Samsung account and are all connected with Multi Control.  The issue I am having is that I use my computer a lot but my screen on my phone and tablet  time out even tho I have them set to their highest level.  Is there any way to wake them all up at the same time with only one log in to my computer?  Or is there any way to keep them all awake when connected through Multi control?  It's frustrating when I want to use the key board or mouse on my tablet or phone but continually have to manually unlock the individual side devices.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry, but no. I think the security of such an option would need to be evaluated deeply.

It seems a convenient setup with Multi Control, but the screen timeout issue can be frustrating. Unfortunately, there's no direct way to wake all devices simultaneously by logging in to your computer. However, here are a few suggestions:

  1. Disable Screen Timeout Temporarily: On your Galaxy devices, go to Settings > Display > Screen timeout and set it to "Keep screen on while connected to power." This will prevent them from locking when connected to a charger, which might be helpful during extended sessions.
  2. Use Samsung Flow or SideSync: These tools allow you to control your Galaxy devices from your PC seamlessly. With Samsung Flow, you can unlock connected devices with a single biometric authentication on your PC.
  3. Developer Options - Stay Awake: Enable Developer Options on your phone and tablet (Settings > About phone/tablet > Tap "Build Number" 7 times). Then, go to Settings > Developer Options and turn on Stay awake while charging. This keeps the devices awake as long as they're plugged in.
  4. Keyboard/Mouse Wake Feature: When using Multi Control, some devices allow keyboard or mouse input to wake the screen without unlocking fully. Try pressing any key or moving the mouse on the shared setup to see if it wakes your devices.
  5. Third-Party Solutions: Consider automation tools like Bixby Routines or Tasker to keep your devices awake or synchronize their wake states when connected to Multi Control.
