HP Recommended

I have a scheduled task which backs up my local drive to a NAS drive. It is set to run each evening at 22:30, wake the computer if necessary, and is run with the highest priorities.  The task runs a standard Windows batch file which uses Robocopy to perform the backup.

 

The problem is that it does not always wake the laptop to run the job. Some times it starts at the scheduled time, other times it starts randomly overnight. At other times it starts when I wake the laptop the following morning.  Wake timers in Power Options have been permitted.

 

The laptop is less than a month old, runs Windows 11 Pro and is always current with updates.
