Windows "Schedule Wake To Work" scheduled tasks resume from sleep

Question

My PC is resuming from sleep because wake computer is enabled within scheduled task Schedule Wake To Work:

Timer set by [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (SystemEventsBroker) expires at 00:51:30 on 23/08/2023.
  Reason: Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Schedule Wake To Work' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.

• I've tried a lot of things reported in question Disable UpdateOrchestrator Reboot task, but nothing works, and it keeps asking for the password of account SYSTEM S-1-5-18

How to disable this scheduled task or change the options?

Answer 1

Task Scheduler has an option in the General Tab to run with Highest Privileges . This is a common setting.

Set the task to run with Highest Privileges .

In your case, the task was apparently trying to update something.

The other thing you can do is simply delete the Task. Then it will not interfere with sleep.
