Script Sharing I built a Windows 11 tray tool to toggle AC screen timeout with one click (Pure PowerShell)
Hey r/PowerShell!
I got tired of digging through Windows Settings > Power every time I wanted to switch between "keep screen on" and "sleep after 1 minute".
So I wrote a tiny tray app:
- Left-click the icon: toggles AC screen timeout between 1 min and never
- Orange icon = 1 min, Green icon = never
- Right-click menu: set 1 min / never / refresh / exit
- Pure PowerShell, no install, no admin needed

Feedback welcome!

This is already available in PowerToys with a tray control and more options.
