Computer Does Not Wake From Sleep To Run A Scheduled Task - 2012

Thread needs solution

Greetings,
ATIH 2012 build #6154 installed on w7 Ult x64 sp1.  Although set with the correct options, my system does not wake from sleep to run scheduled tasks such as back up and/or validation.  I do not have Acronis integrated into into Windows Back Up.   

I didn't want to create another Computer Does Not Wake From Sleep To Run A Scheduled Task thread, but none of the posts on this topic offered real solutions (IMO).  I looked at Grover's FAQ and configuration images.  I've read the manual too.  Have I missed something? 

I am hoping that there is another solution besides scheduling a dummy task, or installing a 3rd party app in order to utilize a feature that exists.

I did not see any mention of this on Amazon or NewEgg.  Nor on the first 2-3 pages of these forums when I was researching 2012 prior to purchase.   I'm not a new Acronis user.  However, I have only been using 2012 for about 2 weeks and finally got around to installing it.     

Cheers

After more reading, it was suggested that editing a scheduled task after initial creation breaks the wake from sleep feature.
