Windows 10 NextPVR not creating Scheduled Task

[V_J]

I'm experiencing the same issue... Up to a few weeks ago, wake-up from shutdown worked without problems. I'm not sure when this behaviour changed, but before and after the problems I was running the current NPVR. I did update the bios some time ago, but I don't know if the change coincided with that. The update required me to set all values again, so I will have to double check it all (not so easy, so many settings). The wake-timers are set correctly by NextPVR (powercfg /waketimers), but the PC no longer wakes up from shutdown. It does wake up from standby, which is what I'm currently using.

Not sure if the wake timers are connected to this issue, but for wake-on-lan to work from shutdown, you need to disable faststart: shutdown in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 is not a shutdown, but sleep state S4. This is done to achieve fast start, but kills all power to the network card. Disabling fast start changes the shutdown behaviour of Windows to go to the off state (S5), from which many mainboards can achieve a WOL.

In my case, faststart is disabled... so in my case that is not it...

Windows was only ever able to wake a pc from Standby or Hibernate. It wasn't able to wake the machine from fully shutdown. They may have changed the terminology along the way, maybe shutdown is now really a hibernate? Otherwise, I'd expect those rules to still stand.

I'm 100% sure it was waking after selecting "shutdown", and this worked in Windows 7 and 10 (hybrdid sleep was disabled). I think this puts it in S5 (mainboard is an Asus z97-A). Standby gives me an annoying issue with my wireless keyboard that wakes up the computer (Long story: it is in a charging dock in a master-slave socket list, when it stops charging because the slave socket no longer gets power, it wakes up the computer. So a standby effectively gives me a reboot, whereas a shutdown does not show this behaviour).

Not sure why it stopped working, but I'm very sure the problem is not NextPVR related: it sets the timers correctly as can be verified with powercfg. Once they are set, it is out of NextPVRs control and if it does not work the problem has to be either something with Windows or with bios settings.
