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.
You must be signed in as an administrator to use this option.
1 Open Windows Terminal (Admin), and select either Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.
2 Copy and paste the command below into Windows Terminal (Admin), and press Enter. (see screenshot below)
powercfg -waketimers
1 Open Windows Terminal, and select Windows PowerShell.
2 Copy and paste the command below into Windows PowerShell, and press Enter. (see screenshots below)
Get-ScheduledTask | ? {$_.Settings.WakeToRun} | Out-GridView
That's it,
Shawn Brink
