Hi everyone,
I’ve been running into a weird issue on my Windows 11 Pro workstation (latest updates). I have multiple scheduled tasks set up for nightly backups and scripts that run when the system is idle. About 2–3 times a week, these tasks fail to run, and when I check Task Scheduler, the “Last Run Result” shows 0x00041319 (“Task did not run because the user is not logged on” sometimes, even though the account is set correctly). The strange part is that these failures seem to correlate with Windows entering Energy Saver or Battery Saver mode, even when plugged in. I’ve confirmed that:
The tasks are set to “Run whether user is logged on or not”
“Run with highest privileges” is checked
Wake timers are allowed. The machine never actually sleeps before the task time But if the system dips into Energy Saver right before the schedule, the tasks are skipped entirely. Has anyone else noticed Task Scheduler being blocked by Battery/Energy Saver state?
