Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Task scheduler doesn't run the task
Hi, I have a problem in vista 64bit: If I set up a task in the Task Scheduler and I check the "Wake the computer to run this task", the computer wakes up (from hibernate) at the specified time but the task doesn't run. Is there any solution for this?  SignaturePerez http://forums.techarena.in The date and time was 5/9/2008 11:28 AM, and on a whim, Perez pounded out on the keyboard: > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Is there any solution for this? Most likely the Task you are trying to run doesn't have sufficient permissions. Make sure the task is run as Administrator.

See step FOUR, step 10, in this tutorial for a screenshot of this. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/132903-task-scheduler-create-task.html Hope this helps, Shawn SignatureBrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.* Hi, I checked everything, but it don't works. The user account has administrator rights. If I start the task manually, it is run. I attached the screenshots of my settings, you may see what can be set up wrong.

Shawn SignatureBrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.* I would like to run a TV application (DVBViewer) and my own script. As you can see on picture #3, the task scheduler doesn't start a simple message either if the computer is in hibernated state. If the computer is on and I logged in, then all tasks starts in the scheduled time what I set up. I tried a lot of combinations of settings and I tried on an other computer. The result was the same: tasks not run, just wakes up the PC from hibernation.

[quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64) > *Please post feedback to help others.* Hi, Yes, this workaround is working. I tried it already. If I schedule something else (EX: display a message), the PC wakes up at the time I set up for the message and if I schedule my application 1 minute after the message, it starts. So I have to set up 2 tasks to run 1. This is so ... hmmm..... The task scheduler worked for years on XP with no such bugs. I don't understand why is Vista's scheduler doesn't do the same. I like Vista because it's much faster then XP and has other good things but I really need this scheduling function. May there will be a hotfix which solves this problem. I think I will set up a multiboot system (XP and Vista).

I'm not an expert on adding switches or commands in Task Scheduler, but it seems like some "argument" (switch or command) is missing from the edit "Action" tab to allow it to run properly without having the workaround. I wish I knew what it would be, but that should be something to look into also.

Hi Jmm, So far, we were only able it to get to work using the workaround of having another task scheduled to run right before the problem task so it will run properly. Hope this helps, Shawn SignatureBrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.* The problem with this workaround is that you have to click OK on the message window before the next action can take place... Do you know a script to tell the computer to wait a few seconds (instead of the message display) before the desired action starts? (this would help me because the desired action involves an internet connection, and after waking up the machine needs a little time to establish the connection) ps: is microsoft aware of the problem? > jmm;718497 Wrote: > > was this issue ever solved? i have exactly the same problem tho i just [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Hope this helps, > Shawn jmm;719071 Wrote: > The problem with this workaround is that you have to click OK on the > message [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > up the machine needs a little time to establish the connection) > ps: is microsoft aware of the problem? Jmm, I'm afraid that I do not know of a solution for this.

You don't have to click OK, because that message doesn't display at all, it just wakes up the PC from hibernation (or from sleep mode). That was the original problem, Vista doesn't run any scheduled task (even to display a simple message) if the PC is in hibernation and the task is set up to wake up the PC to run task. 2.
