Microsoft PowerToys version

0.91.1

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Area(s) with issue?

Awake

Steps to reproduce

I was working on trying to use task scheduler to automate expire time using the document at Microsoft Learn PowerToys Awake utility.

When I send the CLI command PowerToys.Awake.exe --expire-at=17:00:00 , the program doesn't reflect that and will go to sleep based on the normal power settings.

✔️ Expected Behavior

App updates to Expired and displays the date and time.
App keeps system awake for the set Date and time.

❌ Actual Behavior

App remains in Passive/Off.
App does not keep system awake.
