Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Similar to remote desktop, keeping the system from idle sleeping while an SSH session is in progress.
Due to modern standby, this might prove difficult as modern standby simply ignores power requests in many cases and even when it does, it often turns off the network. So even tools like PowerToys awake are unable to help.

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by investigating how an active SSH session could request that Windows prevent idle sleep, including the modern standby limitations described here; done should mean the system remains awake for the session without losing network connectivity.
