Windows 10: Subject: Some task schedule not run as scheduled, but the status was "Ready"

We have several task schedules. After deploying patch kb5034768, we found that one of the task schedule did not run as scheduled. The status was "Ready" and next run time was already passed. For example; Next Run time is 10:30pm 28 Feb 2024, we checked on 11:00am 29 Feb 2024, the next Run time was still 10:30pm 28 Feb 2024. We don't find any error on the schedule task Status = Ready and no error in Event viewer. For other scheduled tasks, it worked and ran normally. Have anyone experience this issue? What is the cause of the issue? or please advise how I can investigate it. Windo

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.
