On the days that the task didn’t run, the computer did not wake up at all (at the wake up time). The reason I say this is because Event Viewer shows that the computer doesn’t wake up at the scheduled time. I don’t think the problem is a Task Scheduler problem, but rather something with the OS or hardware that initiates the “wake up”. Right-click the task your want to move or copy. I find it hard to ignore that coincidence, but I’m not sure what I can do about it. Open Scheduled Tasks on your local machine (go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Scheduled Tasks). It might just be a coincidence, but on May 1, three April updates were applied (KB5012599, KB5012117, KB4023057). Looking back at my records, this problem began on May 2. Beginning May 2, it would sometimes kick off at 2:00 (33 times), usually it would kick off a few minutes late (125 times), and sometimes not at all (19).

Just a follow-up, in case anyone is interested…īefore May 2, the scheduled task would kick off at 2:00 AM every time.
