This tutorial will show you how to get a list of wake timers that support or configured to wake the system in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

A wake timer is a timed event that wakes the computer from a sleep or hibernate state at a specific time to perform scheduled tasks.

Important wake timers includes things like a required reboot after a Windows update. They supersede all other settings.
