PowerRequestSystemRequired	The system continues to run instead of entering sleep after a period of user inactivity.
PowerRequestAwayModeRequired	The system enters away mode instead of sleep. In away mode, the system continues to run but turns off audio and video to give the appearance of sleep.

When and how long the process is allowed to run depends on the operating system and power policy settings.
