QuietPower v1.1.0 — First public release

QuietPower's first public release: a small native Windows utility for lid-close behavior, automatic lock, sleep settings and schedules. Set your preferences, save and close the app. Windows settings and Task Scheduler handle the rest.

Download

• QuietPower.exe — standalone Windows x64 application.
• QuietPower-win-x64.zip — application with the illustrated guide, quick start, license and logo assets.
• SHA256SUMS.txt — hashes for verifying both downloads.

Use the EXE or application ZIP above; GitHub's automatically generated source archives do not include a built executable. Requires Windows 10 version 1607 or later / Windows 11, x64. No installer or additional runtime is needed. This release is unsigned.

Included

• Separate battery and plugged-in lid actions: Do nothing, Sleep, Hibernate or Shut down.
• Screen-off, sleep and screen-saver lock timeouts; 0 means Never.
• Keep-working preset for a closed lid.
• One daily time window, including overnight ranges, with automatic return to Everyday settings.
• Temporary overrides and one-time sleep, hibernate, shutdown, lock and wake requests.
• Backup and restore of the original settings.
• No resident background process, polling, telemetry or automatic updater.
• QuietPower branding, multi-size Windows icons and MIT licensing.

Start here

Open the app, choose your Everyday settings and Save settings. For no automatic lock from 7 PM to 8 PM, enable the Time window, set 19:00 → 20:00, choose No lock + keep working, then save.

Read the usage guide for timers, temporary overrides, updates and restoration. Use Restore original settings before removing the app.

Validation and limits

The release was built with MSVC's high warning level and warnings treated as errors. The local suite covers 22 logic checks plus two Windows diagnostics/integration checks, including a read-only scheduled task and an inactive disposable power plan. The app's interface and icons were visually checked.

Physical lid and wake behavior varies by laptop and is not certified across devices. Windows Hello, Dynamic Lock and organization policies can still lock Windows. Stay signed in for schedules to run. Missed one-time power actions are skipped; shutdown does not force-close apps. Wake requires hardware support and Windows wake timers and cannot start a fully shut-down PC.
