Import settings.json for PowerToys Awake

[brusezot]

I am trying to import the settings.json file directly from the keepawake configuration because running a command to configure keep after logging in does not work.




After logon it's ok this command :

\%HomePath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake\
or
%HomePath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake\

Thanks in advance :

I would like to load the configuration when logging in.

Copy your account's PowerToys settings.json file to the Default User's profile inside the image.

1. Add / File / Before logon (Machine) -> "\Users\Dartfish\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake\settings.json"
2. Change Mode -> Image
3. Copy new Destination path: "\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake\settings.json"

There are no drive letters allowed in the path. This settings file will be copied for all new users.

Hi garlin, thanks it's working now, can you give me more information about mode (ISO or IMAGE) ?

 

[garlin]

ISO mode copies your folders or files to the ISO's $OEM$ folder structure, so it's outside of the currently loaded image. Those files are installed on the system, regardless of which image edition is selected by Setup. The disadvantage is $OEM$ files get copied with the read-only attribute.

Image mode copies files only to the currently loaded image. The files are private to that image, and not shared with other images in the same install WIM/ESD. In this case, your settings.json would work from either ISO or image mode. The primary difference is whether the read-only attribute gets set on the copied files.

Sometimes it's annoying to remove the attribute after the install, to make updates on the live system.
