Why automations die quietly overnight — one laptop power setting
Summary in three lines
- Thirty automations stopped in one night because a laptop charger came unplugged, not because of the AI.
- Windows Task Scheduler turns on start only if on AC power by default, so on battery 30 of 38 tasks were refused with code 0x800710E0.
- Unchecking the two battery options on the Conditions tab and keeping the laptop awake with the lid closed brought affected tasks to zero on a recount.
What we learned
- Fixing one is not the same as fixed. Count every task with the same problem before writing that it is solved.
- When an AI changes system settings, have it show the list first and act only after you approve.
FAQ
What does 0x800710E0 mean?
It reads as the operator refused the request, but here the task simply did not start because the laptop was on battery.
Why does the laptop lid matter?
Closing the lid puts the PC to sleep so it misses its schedule, and catch-up runs on battery fail again. Set lid close to do nothing in power settings.
