VVSchedule V5 / Windows 11 / task does not run

My scheduled task does not run until I manually wake the PC in the morning.

(I would post screen shots but I can't see how to do it. I tried using IMG but got error that links to external sites are not permitted)

Task tab: Enabled is checked
Profile tab: /dialogautoexec is checked
Schedule tab: set to daily at 2am
Settings tab: Wake to run is checked

Also, looking at the task in W11 task scheduler, I see that the task is "Configured for: Windows Server 2003 ...". There is no option in the drop down box for W11?

Hi, try to add a separate task directly into the Windows Task Scheduler to wake up the computer:

Then all tasks including VVScheduler ones will run if the PC is not "asleep".

Turned out my issue was that the only user account on my new Win 11 PC did not have needed admin rights to run the scheduler. This was not evident from any of the messages/errors displayed on Task Scheduler or VIceVersa.

I would suggest that checking this should be part of the install process for VV.
