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.

How to Schedule Windows to Schedule it to Wake up and Goto Sleep
Try to do all the work in Task Scheduler one more time, just copy the procedure in the link...


But if you go to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings you could set your PC to sleep after 10 minutes (..or whatever) with no use, you know.
And you could use your mouse or keyboard to wake it up pretty instantly.
