how do you invoke awake, with what configuration(s)? /needinfo

FYI: A screensaver means your PC is still active,

My powertoys 0.84 starts with powertoys' auto start option.

@yano0takashi can you specifically comment on the settings that you set for Awake? Also, while Awake is running - please run powercfg /requests in the admin command prompt and share the output here.

@yano0takashi - is this issue reproducible in latest version of PowerToys?

I tried agein with 0.86.0. The problem has been gone. On local, even if the screen saver is running, the monitor is active. On the remote desktop, the session is always active and there is no desktop lock.
