Windows 10: Scheduled task for shutdown only working randomly

I've used a scheduled task to shut down shutdown.bat my computer at a specific time every night. I've never had a problem until recently. Now, every few nights the task just doesn't run and the next day my computer is still on. How can I solve this problem so it works every night as it has always done?
