Power Toys Awake #15411

Closed tlalle closed 2 years ago

tlalle commented 2 years ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

A scheduler... an additional setting that will allow us to say.... choose which days of the week to run, and a start and end time for each day of the week (as well as just setting one day and a 'copy to all' button)

Scenario when this would be used?

So, as a remote admin... I have workstations I need access to when everyone else is having dinner, or putting the kids to bed. I may need to run some updates, or reproduce an error a particular user is having.

If I could set all desktops to run 'Awake' on a scheduled interval (say... when users are typically away from their desktops.... Daily @ 8:00 PM-10:00 PM), I could reliably set and complete change managements.

@tlalle that sounds like a scenario for things like SCCM or Intune, not PowerToys. I don't see us building that feature out.

What if the user has their laptop closed
