I set a task schedule in Win 7 Task scheduler to wake up my HTPC ( XBMC) computer when I come home from work at the same time everyday.
After doing this, instead of powering off / shutting down the computer like usual. I chose "Sleep mode" since I selected "Awake computer to complete the task" when I created the task. This is my first time using this setting.
I noticed after sleep mode activated - my screen went blank, my computer was still on for a minute or two.. and then it completely shut down ( no fans running.)
So is this sleep mode still active - will it still wake up at the scheduled time? I thought low level power would atleast keep the fans running, I can understand the blank screen happening.
Thanks in advance.
