Will not wake up ...

[Michael Tissington]

I have a number of scheduled tasks

1) To download virus definitions
2) Windows Updates
3) Symantec backup ..

If my computer is in a deep sleep (not sure about a light sleep) then it
will not wake up and run.

How can I auto wake from a deep sleep to run the tasks ?

Did you enable the task option that wakes the computer to execute the
task?

Buried in the Windows Task Scheduler is a properties box to WAKE the
computer. If your tasks cannot do that on their own, you can start them off
(or just a dummy task) by waking with the Scheduler. I believe this works
down to S3 sleep states but will check my info and get back if that was
wrong.

AEG and Symantec Backup do not use the task scheduler

How do I create a dummy task, all the options seem to want to run a
program...
