Windows Task Scheduler is used to created automated tasks without any human interaction. 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.
If your PC is missing backups when in ‘Sleep’ state then you may need to adjust your active ‘Power Plan’ settings in order to enable the Windows Task Scheduler to wake up the server and run the scheduled task.
