I have this same issue. Any task I schedule with the "wake up the
computer" option set (as well as "run whether user is logged on or
not" and "run with highest privileges") will wake the PC and the task
will start, but the system falls back to sleep again 60 seconds later,
even as the task is still running (ignoring my preferences in this
regard in my power profile, to not go back to sleep for an hour). I
have had it fall asleep in the middle of a virus scan, imaging my C
drive, defragging my C drive, etc. No matter what the task, it wakes
up, starts running but falls asleep again in 60 seconds, I am involved
in a running conversation with MS support on this (Case:
SRX1030236402). I've made it past level 1, but still no progress.
