Hello,

I came across this thread while searching for an answer to the exact same problem. I've messed with this issue for days and have the EXACT same problem. Did you ever get an answer as to why a scheduled task will NOT wake up the computer when set to hibernate with the rundll32 powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState?

I can get it to hibernate manually or using a 3rd party solution, or using the shutdown -h command...and then a scheduled batch file WILL wake the computer. However, when running the rundll32 hibernate command (above), the same batch file won't open it. One may be asking, well, why worry? Just go ahead and use one of the other hibernate methods. The reason why I can't is those hibernate methods keep allowing my computer to power on throughout the day.....

Please help...or let me know if you ever figured this out...thanks
vr
