sleep-pc: a .NET Native AOT tool to make Windows sleep after a timeout

Read Original

The article details the creation of 'sleep-pc,' a .NET Native AOT tool that forces a Windows PC to sleep after a user-defined timeout. It explains the initial problem with Windows sleep behavior, the use of the Win32 SetSuspendState API via P/Invoke, and the evolution into a packaged tool with command-line parsing, available on GitHub and NuGet.
