Environment info

• Duplicati version: 2.2.0.3 - 2.2.0.3_stable_2026-01-06
• Operating system: Windows 11
• Backend: not applicable

Description

Duplicati sometimes for unknown reason doesn't call Win32.SetThreadExecutionState(Win32.EXECUTION_STATE.ES_CONTINUOUS); at backup end. Because of this system can't go to sleep. For example today powercfg /requests gives: PS C:\Users\piotr> powercfg /requests DISPLAY: None.

SYSTEM: [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\tools\duplicati-2.2.0.3_stable_2026-01-06-win-x64-gui\Duplicati.Server.exe

AWAYMODE: None.

EXECUTION: None.

PERFBOOST: None.

ACTIVELOCKSCREEN: None.

even though the last backup finished a few hours ago. I get the impression that this usually happens when the backup task doesn’t find any modified files and runs without making any changes.

Steps to reproduce

Normal duplicati work.

• Actual result: See above.
• Expected result: Duplicati after backup ends calls Win32.SetThreadExecutionState(Win32.EXECUTION_STATE.ES_CONTINUOUS);
