+# Awake Module
+
+## Synopsis
+
+Manages configuration for the Awake utility, which keeps your computer awake without changing power settings.
+
+## Description
+
+The `Awake` module configures PowerToys Awake, a utility that prevents your
+computer from going to sleep or turning off the display. This is useful
+during installations, presentations, or any scenario where you need to
+temporarily override power settings without permanently changing them.
+
+Awake supports multiple modes including indefinite keep-awake, timed
+intervals, and scheduled expiration. The display can be kept on or allowed
+to turn off independently of the system sleep state.
+
+## Properties
+
+The Awake module supports the following configurable properties:
+
+### keepDisplayOn
+
+Controls whether the display remains on while Awake is active.
+
+**Type:** boolean  
+**Default:** `true`  
+**Description:** When `true`, prevents the display from turning off. When
+`false`, only prevents system sleep while allowing the display to turn off
+according to power settings.
+
+### mode
+
+Specifies the Awake operating mode.
+
+**Type:** integer  
+**Allowed values:**
+
+- `0` - Off (Awake is disabled).
+- `1` - Keep awake indefinitely.
+- `2` - Keep awake for a timed interval.
+- `3` - Keep awake until a specific date/time.
+
+**Default:** `0`
+
+### intervalHours
+
+Number of hours to keep the system awake (used when mode is `2`).
+
+**Type:** integer  
+**Range:** `0` to `999`  
+**Default:** `0`
+
+### intervalMinutes
+
+Number of minutes to keep the system awake (used when mode is `2`).
+
+**Type:** integer  
+**Range:** `0` to `59`  
+**Default:** `1`
+
+### expirationDateTime
+
+The date and time when Awake should automatically disable (used when mode is `3`).
+
+**Type:** string (ISO 8601 datetime format)  
+**Format:** `"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.fffffffzzz"`  
+**Example:** `"2025-12-31T23:59:59.0000000-08:00"`
+
+### customTrayTimes
+
+Custom time intervals displayed in the system tray context menu for quick activation.
+
+**Type:** object  
+**Description:** A dictionary of custom time presets for quick access. Keys
+are display names, values are time specifications.

+
+## Important notes
+
+> **Note:** The Keyboard Manager module DSC configuration controls the enabled state only. Key remappings and shortcut definitions are managed through the Keyboard Manager UI and stored separately. This design ensures that complex remapping configurations are not accidentally overwritten by DSC operations.
+
+To configure key remappings:
+1. Enable Keyboard Manager using DSC
+2. Open PowerToys Settings
+3. Navigate to Keyboard Manager
+4. Use "Remap a key" or "Remap a shortcut" to configure specific mappings
+
+## Use cases
+
+### Enable for deployment
+
+Enable Keyboard Manager on new workstations:
+
+```yaml
+resources:
+  - name: Enable Keyboard Manager
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/KeyboardManagerSettings
+    properties:
+      settings:
+        properties:

+ms.topic:    overview
+title:       PowerToys DSC Overview
+---
+
+# PowerToys DSC Overview
+
+## Synopsis
+
+PowerToys supports Desired State Configuration (DSC) v3 for declarative configuration management of PowerToys settings.
+
+## Description
+
+PowerToys includes Microsoft Desired State Configuration (DSC) support
+through the `PowerToys.DSC.exe` command-line tool, enabling you to:
+
+- Declare and enforce desired configuration states for PowerToys
+  utilities.
+- Automate PowerToys configuration across multiple systems.
+- Integrate PowerToys configuration with WinGet and other DSC-compatible
+  tools.
+- Version control your PowerToys settings as code.
+
+The PowerToys DSC implementation provides a **settings** resource that
+manages configuration for all PowerToys utilities (modules). Each utility
+can be configured independently, allowing granular control over your
+PowerToys environment.
+
+## Usage methods
+
+PowerToys DSC can be used in three ways:
+
+### 1. Direct execution with PowerToys.DSC.exe
+
+Execute DSC operations directly using the PowerToys.DSC.exe command-line
+tool:
+
+```powershell
+# Get current settings for a module
+PowerToys.DSC.exe get --resource 'settings' --module Awake
+
+# Set settings for a module
+$input = '{"settings":{...}}'
+PowerToys.DSC.exe set --resource 'settings' --module Awake --input $input
+
+# Test if settings match desired state
+PowerToys.DSC.exe test --resource 'settings' --module Awake --input $input
+```
+
+For detailed information, see [PowerToys.DSC.exe command reference][01].
+
+### 2. Microsoft Desired State Configuration (DSC)
+
+Use PowerToys DSC resources in standard DSC configuration documents:
+
+```yaml
+# powertoys-config.dsc.yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
+resources:
+  - name: Configure Awake
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/AwakeSettings
+    properties:
+      settings:
+        properties:
+          keepDisplayOn: true
+          mode: 1
+        name: Awake
+        version: 0.0.1
+```
+
+### 3. WinGet Configuration
+
+Integrate PowerToys configuration with WinGet package installation:
+
+```yaml
+# winget-powertoys.yaml
+$schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/main/schemas/2023/08/config/document.json
+metadata:
+  winget:
+    processor: dscv3
+resources:

+
+# Settings Resource
+
+## Synopsis
+
+Manages configuration settings for PowerToys utilities (modules).
+
+## Description
+
+The `settings` resource provides Microsoft Desired State Configuration (DSC)
+support for managing PowerToys configuration. It enables declarative
+configuration of PowerToys utilities, allowing you to define, test, and
+enforce desired states for each module.
+
+Each PowerToys utility (module) has its own configurable properties that can
+be managed through this resource. The settings resource supports standard DSC
+operations: get, set, test, export, schema, and manifest generation.
+
+## Supported modules
+
+The settings resource supports the following PowerToys modules:
+
+- **App** - General application settings (enable/disable utilities, run at
+  startup, theme, etc.).
+- **AdvancedPaste** - Advanced clipboard and paste operations.
+- **AlwaysOnTop** - Window pinning configuration.
+- **Awake** - Keep-awake timer settings.
+- **ColorPicker** - Color picker activation and format settings.
+- **CropAndLock** - Window cropping settings.
+- **EnvironmentVariables** - Environment variable editor settings.
+- **FancyZones** - Window layout and zone configuration.
+- **FileLocksmith** - File lock detection settings.
+- **FindMyMouse** - Mouse locator settings.
+- **Hosts** - Hosts file editor settings.
+- **ImageResizer** - Image resize configuration.
+- **KeyboardManager** - Key remapping and shortcut settings.
+- **MeasureTool** - Screen measurement tool settings.
+- **MouseHighlighter** - Mouse highlighting configuration.
+- **MouseJump** - Mouse jump navigation settings.
+- **MousePointerCrosshairs** - Crosshair display settings.
+- **Peek** - File preview settings.
+- **PowerAccent** - Accent character selection settings.
+- **PowerOCR** - Text extraction settings.
+- **PowerRename** - Bulk rename configuration.
+- **RegistryPreview** - Registry file preview settings.
+- **ShortcutGuide** - Keyboard shortcut overlay settings.
+- **Workspaces** - Application workspace settings.
+- **ZoomIt** - Screen zoom and annotation settings.
+
+For detailed property information for each module, see the individual [module
+documentation][01].
+
+## Operations
+
+### List supported modules
+
+List all modules that can be configured with the settings resource.
+
+**Direct execution:**
+
+```powershell
+# List all configurable modules.
+PowerToys.DSC.exe modules --resource 'settings'
+```
+
+### Get current state
+
+Retrieve the current configuration state for a module.
+
+**Direct execution:**
+
+```powershell
+# Get current settings for a module.
+PowerToys.DSC.exe get --resource 'settings' --module <ModuleName>
+```
+
+**DSC configuration:**
+
+```yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
+resources:
+  - name: Get Awake settings
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/AwakeSettings
+    properties: {}
+```
+
+**WinGet configuration:**
+
+```yaml
+$schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/main/schemas/2023/08/config/document.json
+metadata:
+  winget:
+    processor: dscv3
+resources:
+  - name: Get FancyZones settings
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/FancyZonesSettings
+    properties: {}
+```
+
+### Export current state
+
+Export the current configuration state. The output is identical to the `get`
+operation.
+
+**Direct execution:**
+
+```powershell
+# Export current settings for a module.
+PowerToys.DSC.exe export --resource 'settings' --module <ModuleName>
+```
+
+### Set desired state
+
+Apply a configuration to a module, updating only the properties that differ
+from the desired state.
+
+**Direct execution:**
+
+```powershell
+# Set desired configuration for a module.
+$input = '{
+  "settings": {
+    "properties": {
+      "keepDisplayOn": true,
+      "mode": 1
+    },
+    "name": "Awake",
+    "version": "0.0.1"
+  }
+}'
+PowerToys.DSC.exe set --resource 'settings' --module Awake --input $input
+```
+
+**DSC configuration:**
+
+```yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
+resources:
+  - name: Configure Awake
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/AwakeSettings
+    properties:
+      settings:
+        properties:
+          keepDisplayOn: true
+          mode: 1
+        name: Awake
+        version: 0.0.1
+```
+
+**WinGet configuration:**
+
+```yaml
+$schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/main/schemas/2023/08/config/document.json
+metadata:
+  winget:
+    processor: dscv3
+resources:
+  - name: Install and configure PowerToys
+    type: Microsoft.WinGet.DSC/WinGetPackage
+    properties:
+      id: Microsoft.PowerToys
+      source: winget
+  
+  - name: Configure FancyZones
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/FancyZonesSettings
+    properties:
+      settings:
+        properties:
+          fancyzones_shiftDrag: true
+          fancyzones_mouseSwitch: true
+          fancyzones_displayOrWorkAreaChange_moveWindows: true
+        name: FancyZones
+        version: 1.0
+```
+
+### Test desired state
+
+Verify whether the current configuration matches the desired state.
+
+**Direct execution:**
+
+```powershell
+# Test if current state matches desired state.
+$input = '{
+  "settings": {
+    "properties": {
+      "keepDisplayOn": true,
+      "mode": 1
+    },
+    "name": "Awake",
+    "version": "0.0.1"
+  }
+}'
+PowerToys.DSC.exe test --resource 'settings' --module Awake --input $input
+```
+
+The output includes an `_inDesiredState` property indicating whether the
+configuration matches (`true`) or differs (`false`).
+
+**DSC configuration:**
+
+```yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
+resources:
+  - name: Test Awake configuration
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/AwakeSettings
+    properties:
+      settings:
+        properties:
+          keepDisplayOn: true
+          mode: 1
+        name: Awake
+        version: 0.0.1
+```
+
+### Get schema
+
+Generate the JSON schema for a module's settings, describing all configurable
+properties and their types.
+
+**Direct execution:**
+
+```powershell
+# Get JSON schema for a module.
+PowerToys.DSC.exe schema --resource 'settings' --module Awake
+
+# Format for readability.
+PowerToys.DSC.exe schema --resource 'settings' --module Awake `
+  | ConvertFrom-Json | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
+```
+
+### Generate manifest
+
+Create a DSC resource manifest file for one or all modules.
+
+**Direct execution:**
+
+```powershell
+# Generate manifest for a specific module.
+$outputDir = "C:\manifests"
+PowerToys.DSC.exe manifest --resource 'settings' --module Awake `
+  --outputDir $outputDir
+
+# Generate manifests for all modules.
+PowerToys.DSC.exe manifest --resource 'settings' --outputDir $outputDir
+
+# Print manifest to console (omit --outputDir).
+PowerToys.DSC.exe manifest --resource 'settings' --module Awake
+```
+

+            keepDisplayOn = $true
+            mode = 1
+        }
+        name = "Awake"
+        version = "0.0.1"
+    }
+} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 -Compress
+
+# Test for drift.
+$result = PowerToys.DSC.exe test --resource 'settings' --module Awake `
+  --input $desired | ConvertFrom-Json
+
+if ($result._inDesiredState) {
+    Write-Host "Configuration is in desired state"
+} else {
+    Write-Host "Configuration has drifted from desired state"
+    
+    # Apply configuration.
+    PowerToys.DSC.exe set --resource 'settings' --module Awake `
+      --input $desired
+}
+```
+
+### Example 5 - Export all module configurations
+
+This example exports configuration for all modules.
+
+```powershell
+# Get list of all modules.
+$modules = PowerToys.DSC.exe modules --resource 'settings'
+
+# Export each module's configuration.
+$configurations = @{}
+foreach ($module in $modules) {
+    $config = PowerToys.DSC.exe export --resource 'settings' `
+      --module $module | ConvertFrom-Json
+    $configurations[$module] = $config
+}
+
+# Save to file.
+$configurations | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 `
+  | Out-File "powertoys-backup.json"
+```
