Scheduled Tasks & Power Save

[Guest]

Hi,

Will Task Scheduler work if power save has shut down the hard disks?
What about if its on "system standby"

I've set a bunch of automated tasks for 4am and such, and I checked the
option for "wake when starting task" - but I'm not sure if I have to set my
laptop's power save options will prevent it from running. Thanks.
