Wake a Windows PC and start recording (Task Scheduler how-to)

[Charles7]

There is more than one way to wake a Windows 10 desktop PC and start a Minimstreamer recording. I used this procedure: • Set up a task in Windows' Task Scheduler. • Check your power plan. • Have Minimserver active. • Put the computer to Sleep (not Hibernate). The recording starts at your chosen time while you are asleep.

Task Scheduler controls a Windows service. You can launch it by entering Task Scheduler in the Start box on the taskbar. Choose Create Basic Task. I attach four panels with settings that worked for me.
Why 5:59 a.m.? Set the wake time a minute before you want recording to begin. When wake time was exactly the time that I set Minimstreamer to begin recording, I missed the boat and got nothing.
The action uses Minimserver's script capability to set the stream recording property.

The power plan, accessible from Windows Control Panel, must allow wake timers. I attach a screenshot of the dialog box. I set the power plan to give the computer enough hours to capture the recording before going back to sleep.
