When Windows starts from either Sleep or Hibernate I want HWMonitor to run as administrator for 7 seconds and then close. I created a batch file to do perform the action. The batch file works. It opens HWMonitor and closes it after 7 seconds.

Scheduler does not start it though. Here are the Trigger and Action screens in Task Scheduler. The file path is correct.

1. You need to run it with administrative privileges (This is required by the HWMonitor_x64 program).
2. This is starting

I meant to add this screen.

I thought this is how do it with administrative privileges. Is this incorrect? I am using "cmd.exe" in the Program Script.

Tried it. Not working. It is definitely a Task Scheduler issue. The batch file works fine.

I went into the Event Viewer to confirm the Event ID for the Trigger. Did not work still.

I changed it. Now I am. Did not work.

It seems like it is the Trigger not being correct.

I even went into Event Viewer to find out the exact Event ID when waking. Using that did not work.
