Windows Task Scheduler is used to created automated tasks without any human interaction. In this article, we shall discuss how to fix Scheduled task status prompts error 0x800710E0. Windows Admin Center (WAC) is a browser-based management tool for Windows Server and Windows 10 devices. Please see how to Upgrade Windows Admin Center Manually, and Docker Setup: Monitoring Synology with Prometheus and Grafana.

WAC provides IT administrators with a centralized interface for managing and monitoring server infrastructure, making it easier to perform administrative tasks without needing to use multiple tools or the traditional Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

The following error below was prompted on Windows Admin Center showing the task could not run.

Note: This error code can be associated with different error types as stated here. The operator or administrator has refused the request (Error 0x800710E0). Careful attention should be paid to this specific error type.

Solution

To resolve this issue. You will have to configure your active ‘Power Plan’ settings to enable the Windows Task Scheduler to wake up the server. Below are the steps to do this via the control panel. To have this done via GPO.

Note: At the moment, Windows Admin Center does not have the possibility to configure “Wake the computer to run this task run”. This would have been the best way to have this done.

You can also configure “important wake timers only” via control panel (Similar steps above). In this step, instead of enabling the server to be awake completely, this method could be used.

Since Windows Admin Center is still currently expanding with a lot of bugs in the system. The following solution above resolved my issue. If you found other better ways to solve this problem, please share with my followers in the comment session.
