Using laptop as desktop - can't wake it from sleep with wireless mouse or keyboard.

• 4. Test waking from Sleep with the monitor connected to the laptop.
• 5. Disconnect the monitor from the laptop, reboot, then test waking from Sleep without an external monitor.

No luck with monitor connected. Disconnected the monitor, rebooted, then tested wake-from-sleep with no external monitor - no luck.

 

Using laptop as desktop - can't wake it from sleep with wireless mouse or keyboard.

• 1. Uninstall the McAfee application & reboot.

Uninstalled and rebooted.

• 2. Make CERTAIN that Windows Defender & Windows Firewall are both enabled & working properly. [Should happen automatically but I want you to double-check.]

Enabled and working.

• 3. Download/run the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool (ignore the log) & reboot. =>http://us.mcafee.com/apps/supporttools/mcpr/mcp...

Curious: What's the purpose of this?

• 4. Test waking from Sleep with the monitor connected to the laptop.
• 5. Disconnect the monitor from the laptop, reboot, then test waking from Sleep without an external monitor.
  

Will do this in a moment.

• IMPORTANT! => Please do NOT install Avast or any other third-party anti-virus application just yet!

Already installed, but currently disabled. (FWIW, it didn't cause any wake-from-sleep problems on my previous laptop, a Lenovo w/ Windows 8).

 

Task Scheduler Not Waking Home Use Windows 11 From Sleep

Hi!

I'm trying to make Task Scheduler follow a schedule to:

1. Wake my laptop
   
2. Open Thunderbird.exe
   
3. Bring Thunderbrid.exe to the foreground
   

Problem

• The scheduled task only runs after I manually wake my laptop from sleep
  
  (Not sure if related to the root cause of the issue: Sometimes the Windows Clock App opens as I manually wake my laptop from sleep. When this happens, the Clock App launches before Thunderbird.exe)
  
• Task Scheduler's history tab has no logs for scheduled tasks that were missed because the laptop didn't wake up
  

Steps I Took

• Restart laptop
  
• Run power troubleshooter
  
• Update virtual network adapter enumerator
  
• Disable hibernation
  
• Disable fast start-up
  
• Make sure the maintenance schedule does not clash with the task's schedule
  
• Make sure Power Options - Sleep - Allow wake timers - Both Enabled
  
• Make sure Windows updates are up to date
  
• Make sure the scheduled task is viewable on powercfg -waketimers
