"My Computer Can't Sleep!" (MCCS)

A tool used to check what prevents your Windows computer from sleeping or turning off display

Why did I made this

When I am sleeping (yes, the computer is still turned on, in the same bedroom), the screen stays on, and I have to wake up (suddenly) to check if there is a problem or application running in the background, preventing my computer to sleep. What I know from a Google search result of Microsoft's forums make me know about the powercfg /requests command that can be used to check what prevents my computer from sleeping.

How to get it working
