Works for my Windows 11 laptop but not for my Windows 10 laptop.

Update: Feb 20,2024. It's not awaking from sleep. It's done this now several times. Had Keep Awake for many many years until I realized that my monitor sometimes wouldn't turn back on after it went to sleep or just off, I even changed my HDMI cable and it still did it, so I downloaded Keep Computer Awake and it works w/o any problems now.
