-| `--use-pt-config` | Use the PowerToys configuration file to manage the settings. This assumes that there is a `settings.json` file for Awake, generated by PowerToys, that contains all required runtime information. This includes the Behavior Mode (indefinite or timed), whether screens should be kept on, and what the values for hours and minutes are for a temporary keep-awake.<br/>When this argument is used, all other arguments are ignored. Awake will look for changes in the `settings.json` file to update its state. |

 | `--display-on`    | Keep displays on or off while the machine is kept awake. Expected values are `true` or `false`. |
 | `--time-limit`    | Duration, in seconds, during which Awake keeps the computer awake. Can be used in combination with `--display-on`. |
 | `--expire-at`     | Expiration date and/or time when Awake will turn off and resume the standard power state. Can be used in combination with `--display-on`. |
 | `--pid`           | Attaches the execution of Awake to a Process ID (PID). When the process with a given PID terminates, Awake terminates as well. |
 
 > [!NOTE]
-> The `settings.json` configuration file is located at `%HomePath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake\`. "Keep awake temporarily" options can be adjusted by modifying the `"customTrayTimes"` value, an array consisting of name and duration (in seconds) to stay awake. For example: `"customTrayTimes":{"8 hours":28800}`.
