One of the coolest parts about PowerToys is that it never “ends”. People are always building features, building tools, and then going back to previous features and tweaking them to make them better. There’s always something new with PowerToys, which is good because it’s honestly an essential part of any Windows power user’s repertoire.
However, new fixes are not added immediately. Developers have to come up with an idea, demonstrate a prototype that demonstrates how it works, and win people’s approval. That’s it for this proposal for a new look and feel to PowerToys Awake, and I really hope it delivers.
The design offered by PowerToys Awake makes it very easy to use
It also looks fantastic
As seen NeowinNiels Laute, project manager for PowerToys, uploaded the proposed blueprint for PowerToys Awake. Wake is a handy tool that prevents Windows from sleeping for a certain amount of time without having to delve into Windows’ power settings.
Here’s how Laute describes it:
I’ve been tinkering with some ideas wake up and wanted to float a redesigned offering flight experience. And before I go too far, I’d love to hear your opinion!
Today, changing Wake’s behavior means going into Settings or the tray menu. The offer is light flight It shows the most used actions right where you need them, plus a few new ones.
You can check it out in the video above. It basically makes keeping Windows awake much easier. You can bring it up from the taskbar, set it up quickly using preset times, or get more advanced by setting an exact date and time for it to turn off.
It’s not officially out yet, but if you want to try it out for yourself and give Laute some valuable feedback, GitHub page for instructions.
