    I have set "Allow wake timers" to disable:

    However I get the following when running:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /waketimers
Timer set by [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (SystemEventsBroker) expires at 6:41:36 AM on 2015-08-13.
  Reason: Windows will execute 'NT TASK\Remediation\AntimalwareMigrationTask' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.
    Any tip will be greatly appreciated.

    Right click the task and select properties and in the properties box look through the tabs and find where you can uncheck the allow to wake computer and save it.

    Hi Hong,

    According to the error information, it maybe caused by "Antimalware Migration Task", you can get into Task Scheduler (through control panel) and check if there is any AV task , if there is, try to disable it and run the command again.

    Best regards,

    Thanks for the response, Niko.

    Is there a way to allow scheduled tasks while preventing them from waking up the computer?

    I gather you meant "Wake the computer to run this task" under "Conditions".  This appears to overwrite the setting of "Allow wake timers".
