Awake not working

Awake

Steps to reproduce

Hi folks,

Right clicking on the Awake icon in the task bar and selecting "keep awake on interval" changes the taskbar icon but the laptop goes to sleep a few minutes later anyway. I'm not sure why this is happening. I've attached the bug report log and powertools is running as admin.

I have the same problem even with older version, 0.89. I will try to update the version to see if it helps.

i have Power Toys v0.91.1 and have found that Awake seems to work when selecting indefinably. However if I say don't got to sleep for 4 hours then it seem to revert back to "Keep using the selected power plan"

@asjones987 Do you mean that after 4 hours, it reverts to Keep using the selected power plan?
4 hours have passed since you selected

I've encountered the same issue on PowerToys v0.91.1. Last night, I used the system tray icon to "keep awake on interval" but my laptop went to sleep (as per regular system settings) when I closed the lid. I've attached my bug report from this morning.
