Peter,
The UK version also uses the term "AC power". I wrote "mains" because I'd just been writing posts to a UK user and that's what we tend to say in day-to-day conversation.
Merely because you made no reference to the task history tab in your task's Properties - investigations such as these can often benefit from using Enable all tasks history - that's on the right-hand side of the Task scheduler window.
I set mine on because I often transfer files between my network computers and I did not want the S0 one to lose the network partway through a job.
This means that, in practice, my S0 computer is either fully on or in hibernation - in other words, I do not let its display going off to affect its functionality.
I noticed one typo in your post - "in sleep". Your S0 computer does not sleep. S0 is a glorified idle condition - it is not sleep.
I got so fed up during my Windows 7 period that I created an additional power plan BalancedOn that is the same as Balanced but keeps the display permanently on. I use it for watching videos on my TV.
- When Windows 10 brought in that power slider thing [in the SysTray/Notification area], I carried on referring to power plans but actually I do not switch plans any longer. I just have Balanced but I run PowerCfg commands to alter the display timeout [and volume in my case] and I name the shortcuts running the batch file Balanced / PowerSaver / BalancedOn out of habit.
