BuhoSleep is a tray-only Windows utility that keeps your PC awake when you need it, switches Windows power plans quickly, and restores the previous plan when the app exits or recovers from a crash.

Modes

  • Off — clears keep-awake requests and restores the earlier power plan. Windows returns to its normal sleep behavior.
  • Presentation — keeps both the system and the display awake. For slides, demos, video calls, dashboards or any situation where the screen must stay on.
  • Background — keeps the system awake but lets the display sleep. For downloads, renders, and long-running tasks.
  • Power Saver / High Performance — switch Windows power plans in one click, with the earlier plan remembered for restore.
  • Auto — picks a visual state based on whether the PC is on AC power or battery.

Tray-only workflow

Right-click the tray icon to pick a mode, set a timer, open Settings, or exit. Double-click opens Settings. The app never puts a window in your taskbar.

Free on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11; a Pro unlock is available for advanced triggers.
