PowerToys awake should reset back to off after a reboot/shutdown #33768

Closed matgaj closed 1 month ago

matgaj commented 1 month ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Right now, the setting of the Awake module persists between shutdowns, meaning that I never remember to turn it off. I suggest it be made to turn off after reboot and go back to following the power plan. You could add a toggle to make it persist but that should not be the default in my opinion.

Scenario when this would be used?

If your task requires your PC to be on at all times, turning it off indicates the task is complete, so the computer doesn't need to stay awake. Additionally, keeping the screen on too, prevents automatic locking, leaving the system open to being used when unsupervised, which is undesirable if it happens without your knowledge

Worth considering for a future release, but not something that will be implemented in the immediate term.
