Task scheduler does not wake up to perform a task I created when computer has been asleep over 20 minutes. The option to Wake Computer has been specified for the task. The operating system is Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.1194 installed on 1/23/2023 when I bought the computer online from HP.
My previous PC with Windows 10 did not have this problem.

Hi @Mike9981
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
Open an elevated cmd prompt:
Run powercfg /query
Look for the section on Allow Wake timers
Similar to >Power Setting GUID: bd3b718a-0680-4d9d-8ab2-e1d2b4ac806d (Allow wake timers)
Check the current AC and DC power setting Index values
What are the values on them?
Also open gpedit.msc ( Start - run gpedit)
Check this policy
Computer configuration - administrative Templates - Windows Components - Maintenance Scheduler
What is the value of Automatic Maintenance Wakeup Policy?
Please type "winver" in Search Bar to check the OS build.
Perform a clean boot and disable security software temporarily.

As you said, "Wake the computer to run this task" and other options had been checked. But all tasks set up to run at specific times are missed unless you logged in.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
