Awake does not prevent the screensaver from kicking in

Awake

Steps to reproduce

I need something to temporarily prevent the screensaver from kicking in.

I've installed PowerToys and enabled Awake. It looks like Awake does not block the screensaver from activating after the timeout. AFAICT, Awake only deals with the power plan.

Some users (like myself) use the screensaver to lock their screens. Awake does not help these users.

Please allow Awake to also temporarily suspend the screensaver activation.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I've expected Awake to prevent the screensaver from kicking in after its timeout.

❌ Actual Behavior

The screensaver activated as usual and my screen got locked. :(

This is out of scope for Awake. It's meant to prevent the computer from sleeping and the screen from turning off, but it will not interfere with screensaver or login prompt configuration.
