It will affect both toggles and click powers during its duration.
Look at the video in my signature, and watch the Ranged Defense attribute at the far right. Watch how it spikes when I use PBU.

It affects toggles because toggles constantly reapply their effects while they're running.
Perfect, thanks!
Toggle and auto powers aren't actually persistent buffs. They both actually apply, for example, a 0.75s buff every 0.5s, except the effect does not stack. This means any buffs or debuffs to their effects will take effect almost immediately after the buff is applied.
Longer-duration mods like click powers and ally buffs won't be affected by Power Boost unless they are cast after Power Boost is activated.

On the plus side, those longer duration buffs/debuffs will keep their boosted strength for their entire duration.

Hey all. Search-Fu failed me, so just wondering; when you click Power Boost, does it only affect the powers you click afterwards, during its duration, or will it affect any applicable powers which are currently active?
Thanks!
EDIT: To clarify, by extant I mean, "toggles currently running", and not "clickies I clicked a while ago".
