Powercfg -Waketimers

[Smurph]

While I was troubleshooting some issues with my computer not waking up to record shows, I noticed that running "powercfg -waketimers" from an elevated command prompt resulted in the following message; "An unexpected error condition has occurred. Unable to perform operation. You may not have permission to perform this operation." This message only appears if the "NPVR Recording Service" is running. If the service is not running, it acts normally and reports that no waketimers have been set. Is the "NPVR Recording Service" supposed to cause an error condition in the "powercfg -waketimers" command?

I believe my sleep/wake issues were related to a setting in my BIOS as everything seems to be working now.

Thanks,
Scott

Sorry, I'm gonna have to think you're mistaken on that one. NextPVR isn't doing special with timers, so I don't think it'd be the cause of that. We've also never any other reports.

Sorry Sub. That's how it behaved last night but not today when I tried it after your post. Not sure what caused it to behave better after stopping the NPVR Recording Service. I guess I'll just have to do more research.
