PowerToys Awake standalone Tray Icon reports incorrrect time
Microsoft PowerToys version
0.84.0
Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
Running as admin
Yes
Area(s) with issue?
Awake
Steps to reproduce
- Validate that Awake is turned off in the PowerToys settings.
- Open a terminal and navigate to the PowerToys install directory.
- Input the following command:
.\PowerToys.Awake.exe --display-on true --time-limit 1800
✔️ Expected Behavior
I expect this to only keep the display and computer awake for 30 minutes. The tray icon should also reflect this when hovered. This was the behavior prior to updating to v0.84.0.
❌ Actual Behavior
The tray icon for awake now says "[Indefinite]" when hovering over it.
However, it does appear to terminate after the specified time. So this is seemingly just a bug with the tray icon display logic.
Other Software
No response
I'm experiencing the same issue.
I'm starting to believe that this isn't just an issue with the tray display. I've seen the icon well after the specified duration and my screen has remained on. It seems inconsistent, but I'm happy to run through any troubleshooting steps if needed.
Can reproduce this - thanks for the feedback. Investigating.
Found the issue. Should be covered in #34717. The app wrongly initialized with --use-parent-pid.
Closing this because this is covered by #34148 as the icon behaviors are not expected.
