How can I make Windows Task Scheduler fire an event when there's a change of power source detected?
Sage 50 Accounts 2010 wont run on windows 7Windows Task Scheduler on File changeBlack screen and WHEA logger ID 18Unload User Data in Windows 10Windows 10 goes to sleep ignoring the settingsLaptop goes to sleep at random times ever since I upgraded it to Windows 10Pressing right alt causes shutdownWindows Task Scheduler not running task on eventDell desktop falls asleep in a couple minutes, ignores power/screen saver settingswindows task scheduler event on external ip change
I've written a script that successfully sends me a Telegram message describing the battery state of my PC.
I'd like Task Scheduler to run the script when the power source changes, so that when the power at home dies, I know that my fridge is in danger of defrosting etc. etc.
What I've done to achieve this:
- Opened Event Viewer
- Found the event under Windows Logs -> System, Source is "Kernel-Power"
- Clicked "Attach Task To This Event"
- Set up the task and successfulyl run it manually from Task Scheduler
My problem is that the task does not fire when the computer switches to battery. It does fire when the computer switches back to mains, which doesn't help me!
I've made sure to turn off the default tickbox of "Start the task if the computer is on AC power", so I'd expect the task to fire in all circumstances.
I've also set it to "Run whether the user is logged on or not", though I'm nearly always logged on.
The events look pretty similar from the event log, but this one fires:
<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

<Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power" Guid="{331c3b3a-2005-44c2-ac5e-77220c37d6b4}" />

So does anyone know why the task doesn't fire? It feels like a power saving measure somewhere else in Windows but I can't work it out (something hidden in the power scheme??)
