Welcome to HP forums, I see that your computer does not turn on when task scheduler runs.

Create a new user profile with admin rights

  • Click Start
  • Select Settings
  • Click Accounts

  • Select Family and Other people

  • Click Add someone else to this PC

  • Fill in the form with the user name and password. Your new user account will be created.
  • Click on Change account type
  • Click the drop down arrow and choose Administrator to set the account to administrator level

Log in to the new account you just created and set Task Scheduler.

 

Let me know how it goes.
