awake utility

The awake utility tag collects coverage of PowerToys Awake, a Windows 11 tool that helps keep a PC from entering sleep mode during long-running tasks. Current discussion centers on a proposed redesign of its flyout, including timer controls and process-aware keep-awake behavior. The proposal is associated with the Microsoft PowerToys GitHub repository and is not described as a shipping feature. This tag is useful for following changes to Awake’s interface and task-focused controls, as well as how the utility may better support workflows that require a computer to remain active. Coverage here focuses on the utility itself and its possible development within Microsoft’s PowerToys ecosystem.
