Area(s) with issue?

Awake

Steps to reproduce

If I go into the Administrator: Power Toys Settings and "Enable Awake" and set the mode to "Keep awake indefinitely", my monitor will still sleep, per the Windows OS power settings (which is not expected). However, if I reboot after changing that setting, then the Awake icon DOES appear in the system tray (after reboot) and my monitor will stay on indefinitely (fantastic). But if, after that reboot, I use the system tray icon to turn off Awake (i.e., Keep using the selected power plan") and then shutdown the PC, after I turn it on again the Awake icon is again NOT in the system tray, even though "Enable Awake" is still set to ON.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I expect that the monitor should sleep if I select "Keep awake indefinitely" in the Power Toys setting (even if there is no Awake icon in the system tray).
I also expect the Awake icon to be in my system tray NO MATTER WHAT MODE IS SELECTED IN THE POWER TOYS SETTINGS.

❌ Actual Behavior

If I go into the Administrator: Power Toys Settings and "Enable Awake" and set the mode to "Keep awake indefinitely", my monitor will still sleep, per the Windows OS power settings (which is not expected). However, if I reboot after changing that setting, then the Awake icon DOES appear in the system tray (after reboot) and my monitor will stay on indefinitely (fantastic). But if, after that reboot, I use the system tray icon to turn off Awake (i.e., Keep using the selected power plan") and then shutdown the PC, after I turn it on again the Awake icon is again NOT in the system tray, even though "Enable Awake" is still set to ON.
