How to keep computer awake after waking from a scheduled job.

I put my Windows 10 PC to sleep each night before going to bed and need it to automatically wake up at 8:00 AM each morning and
stay awake until I put it to sleep at night. I have a scheduled job that dutifully wakes the PC every morning, but the problem is that it puts itself back to sleep within a few minutes. If I move the mouse during the few minutes it's awake
it stays awake all day with no problem. If I wake the computer with the keyboard it stays awake all day.

This process worked fine in Windows 7. Any suggestions?

 

Win 10 Task Scheduler will not awake from hibernation properly

Your scheduled task looks fine.

I have a fundamental problem with your thread. You keep talking about "Hibernation" and the name of your schedduled task also includes this word. Now Windows 10 has two energy saving modes:

• Sleep Mode. In this mode most activities are shut off but the CPU keeps ticking over. It will respond to the keyboard, the mouse and to scheduled events.
• Hibernation. In this mode the current state is saved to disk, then the computer is shut down. In this mode the PC consumes no power. You can disconnect the power cord or remove the battery (in case of a laptop). When resuming, the current state is read
  back into RAM and Windows resumes where it left off.

In your scheduled task you instruct Windows to "wake the computer to run this task". This means that the PC MUST BE IN SLEEP MODE. If it was hibernating then it could not be woken because the CPU is shut down!

There are only two things that can wake a hibernating PC. Neither is dependent on the CPU:

• The power switch
• The BIOS (if it features such a function)

Perhaps you would like to review your problem in the light of the above observations.

 

Task scheduler not working anymore.

Hello,

System file corruption is one of the possible reasons why you are encountering issues with the Task Scheduler in Windows 10. To better assist you, we need the answers to the following questions:

• Have you tried setting a schedule to
