    Computer turns on, but screen doesn't with Task Scheduler


    I was playing around with Task Scheduler to turn on laptop at specific time, it works great. However, while the system starts up just fine, the screen remains black until I touch the mousepad.

    Now that doesn't seem like a big deal, but what I was experimenting with is having the computer turn on so I could use TeamViewer app on my phone to access my desktop when I'm not home. Problem is, TeamViewer won't access desktop if screen is black and if I am not physically present, I can't tap the mousepad.

    Anyone know why the screen doesn't turn on? It worked great on my old Dell with Vista, system and screen came on know problem.

    It's most likely in the power options to turn screen on when computer wakes from sleep. Just a guess.
