Tasks start when powered-up before log-on?

by healer . Updated 15 years, 5 months ago

When scheduling a task we can specify if it will start before logon after the computer is powered-up. What if a task was running when the computer was put in to hibernation such as a laptop that has its lid closed and was configured to hibernate. Once in a while I download some big files. When I can’t wait for it to finish I simply close the lid and the computer will go into hibernation. When I am ready next time I power up the computer and log on, the download will continue from where it stops previously. I always wonder whether it is necessary to log on before the download will continue. I expect that the task should resume without user intervention. That’s what I understand hibernation is.
