I recently built a new machine with Windows 11 and have created several tasks to run a utility to backup multiple users accounts and shared data to a NAS drive. I am trying to use the task scheduler to accomplish this. I have created the tasks and I can run them manually from task scheduler and they work just fine. However when I put the machine to sleep the scheduled task will not wake the computer.
This is the setup I have:
Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX motherboard
Intel I7 12700 cpu
32 gig Gskill ram
1TB M.2 Samsung SSD
The tasks are setup as follows:
General - Run whether the user is logged in or not
Run with the highest privileges
Trigger - Weekly at 6:00 am every Friday Enabled
Actions - Start a program "C:......\myprogram"
Conditions - Power - Wake the computer to run this task
Start the task if its on AC power (this setting doesnt make a difference)
Start only if the following network connection is available Any connection (doesnt make a difference)
Settings - allow the task to be run on demand
Stop if task runs longer than 3 days
If the task does not end force it to stop
The output from powercfg is as follows
The following sleep states are available on this system:
Standby (S3)
The following sleep states are not available on this system:
Standby (S1)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
Standby (S2)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
Hibernate
Hibernation has not been enabled.
Standby (S0 Low Power Idle)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
Hybrid Sleep
Hibernation is not available.
Fast Startup
Hibernation is not available.
Allow wake timers enabled
HPET is enabled and is using the std driver
BIOS and OS updates are current
This worked perfectly in Windows 10 on the old hardware. I have been searching for about a month for a soluiton to this, hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
