Caffeine + STES does not work on Win 11

Hi,

I have been using Caffeinie for a long time and am grateful for its functionality. I only just discovered the STES flag and have tried to use it to stop stray keypresses in Putty, but it does not work on multiple Win 11 machines.

Googling a little it seems the SetThreadExecutionState  API has changed in Win 11 and requires parameters. See the first answer on this stack exchange  page:

Is there any chance the app can be updated to include the new changes so the stes method is able to work on Win 11?

Thanks

Can you try this build out please:

It's got the extra flag added - does it work better under W11?

Thanks you - I will try it with the "-allowss -stes" arguments and report back.

I have tested the version above on one PC two times and it works perfectly. Screensaver activates and the computer does not shutdown.
I will test more extensively and on some other win 11 machines and let you know if it does not work

Thank you very much.

I have tested on another machine (a ryzen based pc, the other, initial machine, was a intel machince... not sure if that matters though) and with -allowss argument caffeine works perfectly.

Thank you!

I've spent some time looking for an alternative to Caffeine for Win11 to find this version, which works perfectly.

I should have updated the release version a long while back - I've just done so.  It's always a nervous thing replacing a build which is known to be OK with one hot off the assembly line, but hey.  I can always roll it back.
