Keep Awake does not work without screen on on some devices

[SilverGreen93]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.87.1

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

No

Area(s) with issue?

Awake

Steps to reproduce

I have two devices: an Intel gen13 laptop and an Intel gen7 desktop with Powertoys installed on both.
I use Keep Awake on both of them, but it behaves differently.
On my desktop, if I choose Keep awake indefinitely, it indeed keeps it awake, but on my laptop it does not have any effect, the laptop goes to sleep as normal.
But if I choose Keep screen on, now the laptop never goes to sleep.

Is there any option to keep the laptop awake without keeping the screen on as well? Why is it different from the Desktop PC?

Steps: Activate Keep Awake indefinitely without any other option.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The Laptop should not go to sleep

❌ Actual Behavior

The laptop enters sleep mode as normal.

I am experiencing the same issue on my laptop. I have the "Keep screen on" setting set to "Off"... going to try changing that to "On" today.
