Windows 10: How do I configure Task Scheduler to run a task every time PC wakes up from sleep?

My laptop has a bug where the dedicated GPU consumes power every time it is woken up from sleep (ie I open the lid). The workaround is restarting the dGPU. I wrote a simple powershell script to restart it.

In Task scheduler I configured to run the script at every logon. However the script runs only when I turn it on from shut down.

I wish to make the script run every time I open the lid. How do I do that?

Scheduled Tasks Not Waking Computer

Hi Michael,

Thank you for being part of Windows 10.

I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and your effort towards resolving it.

Try the following steps and check if it helps:

• To wake up your Windows computer from Sleep mode at a fixed time, type
  Task Scheduler in Search bar and hit Enter.
• In the right side, select Create Task. A new window will open. Here under the
  General tab, fill in the Name and Description. Also check,
  Run with highest privileges.
• Under the Triggers tab, click New. Another window will open. Select
  One time (or Daily if you want it repeated every day at a particular time). Set the Date and Time when you want your system to wake up from Sleep.
• Next under the Actions tab, you have to mention a task. Click
  New. You can run a simple task, like say, first launching & then closing the command prompt window. This thus will wake your system at the pre-set time to carry out the task.
• Select Action as : Start a program. To schedule a task that executes the command
  cmd.exe with command line arguments, copy-paste under Program/script

/c “exit”

6. Under Conditions tab, check on the Wake the computer to run this task check-box. Click
OK and Exit Task Scheduler. Click OK
and Exit Task Scheduler. Your computer will wake up from Sleep at the particular time.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Information on task Scheduling

Hi,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

Please follow the suggestions below:

By default, if it's time for your regularly scheduled backup and your computer is off, sleeping, or hibernating, Windows Backup skips the backup and waits for your next scheduled backup. However, if you want to automatically wake the computer
to perform backup, you can use the task scheduler.

To schedule a task to wake the computer before the scheduled backup time follow these steps:

1. Click on Start button and type “Task Scheduler” in the start search box and press enter.

2. Select the “Task Scheduler” from the menu and click on “Actions” and then select “Create task”.

3. Click “Conditions” tab and make sure that “Wake the computer to run this task” is checked.

Please get back to us with updated status, we will be happy to assist you.

 

Task Schedular won't run a scheduled task.

I have been having no luck creating a working scheduled task in the Windows 10 Task Scheduler. This particular task is intended to wake the PC from sleep mode to later perform a automatic daily system restore point. The wakeup task does not work and has
reported in the History tab that scheduled task was missed. I have checked and the PC is in sleep mode at the time the task is to run. After the task fails to run I can manually wake the PC from sleep and find that the start menu has been opened. I'm setting
up this task with administrator privileges. I ran a troubleshooting process for power problems that I found in this forum. The troubleshooter did find two errors and corrected them. The corrections had no effect. I have successfully created two other scheduled
task and they tested good. One task is to create a daily system restore point. The other is to shut down the PC after the other two are completed. Anyone had this problem and knows how it is corrected? Tnx
