Well. I guess I will give up for now. That's unfortunate tho because it was very useful. It's frustrating tho! ;P I just want to have the control about when it happens. So I may force it daily at 4PM or something like that so no surprises when I start working at 8AM.

Already tried! I gave it "MSchedExe.exe Start" . The PC wakes but go back to sleep after 2 minutes (unattened sleep). That exe does not prevent PC to go back to sleep. Tried to use Powershell and start-process -wait but for some reason it does not accept "start" as arguments. Tried to extend...

I guess I didn't have to wait that long for the "maintenance activator" wake timer to vanish. Automatic maintenance ran once and there is no wake timer anymore. (in French: "there is no ative wake timer in the system") I'd like to precise that I want the automatic maintenance to do its job on...

Where is automatic maintenance, then? As you noticed earlier, the classic tasks in the "TaskScheduler" folder are gone. I have a "Maintenance Activator" wake timer but the option is unchecked in Maintenance. As long as this mysterious wake timer will remain, automatic maintenance will work while...

Sorted by name and no "Maintenance Activator" task, to the best of my knowledge.

I guess I will be more careful! Is it the original one? https://www.tenforums.com/performance-maintenance/41494-maintenance-activator-task.html I guess that question remained unanswered to this day!

Oh, well, my sincere apologies ! :-) How can I know? This being said, the maintenance proble is still there!

Googling that specific "Maintenance Activator" task didn't give me much except for this surprisignly old thread: [REMOVED BY ADMIN] The guy tried to explain it but people seemed confused about it: "Just to confirm, you were looking for "Maintenance Activator" and not Automatic Maintenance...

Okay. Woke up this morning motivated. Did another clean install from scratch with modern stanby disabled from the bios because I noticed earlier that a wake timer was there and then vanished too after some time (I have no idea why). Found out "Maintenance Activator". It's bothering for a while...

Well, it is way more complicated that I previously thought. Since modern standby is not sleeping, I believe this is not required anymore therefore greyed the "wake" option. This being said, I noticed strange behavior on my PC without modern standby. The tasks inside the folder "Task scheduler"...

Well... Still unsure it did all its cycle... This being said, the check appeared... still in grey tho.

Thank you for your quick response. I'm doing a test for 9 PM Still strange because when I'm doing "powercfg -wake_timers" There is nothing even if I used the reg file. The wake timers are activated. I think it may not work but let's see...

Used the registry key to activate wakeUp (option 2) The key is there, but still no check and the grayed option... And what is the difference between opt 2 and opt 4?

I wanted to join this conversation. I too noticed the grey option in the automatic maintenance menu. Does it means something? I have 3 machines running Win 11 and the option is grayed on all machines. Does Microsoft want to get rid of this feature? Note: I cleaned install win 11 pro from scratch.
