When you put Awake in this state, can you share the output of powercfg /requests?

minoseah629 commented 3 weeks ago

hello @dend,

I am currently on 0.86.0 and it's no longer an issue.

But here is the output of your request:

SYSTEM: [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Users\xxx.xxx\AppData\Local\PowerToys\PowerToys.Awake.exe

Thanks @minoseah629 - looks like Awake is working correctly then. Do keep me posted if this issue resurfaces. I will close the current item for now.

minoseah629 commented 2 weeks ago

hello, this appears to be happening again.

the thing that changed was my machine updated to: 2024-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5046732)

Looking at the screens above, doesn't seem like Awake is working at all - it's not listed as a process. I wonder if it crashed. Can you please provide your logs in this issue?
