I have a task set up in task scheduler to wake the computer from sleep in the middle of the night to run a task. I had it setup the exact same way on an old computer and it worked fine. Now i just got this computer and have not been able to get the task to wake the computer up. The task doesnt run overnight, but will start running as soon as i wake the computer after it was originally scheduled to run.
In Task Scheduler - I have the box checked to wake it from sleep. This is the same as i had on my old computer where it ran fine.
In Power Settings - I have already gone into advanced power settings and enabled wake timers on battery and power. They weren't originally available as options, but had to make them visible with registry.
In BIOS (UEFI) - I don't see any options for allowing wake timers, though there is a setting to schedule wakeups. I don't want to schedule wakeups through the BIOS, but is there some setting in here to allow the timers?
Where else could my computer be preventing the wake timers? Any ideas?
