Peter,
I have one S0 Modern standby computer and I find it a pain in the neck. I'd rather just have S3 ['normal' sleep] instead.

S0 Modern standby does use less power than being idle with the display off but I feel it has nothing to commend it in comparison to S3 sleep or hibernation.
- in essence, an S0 computer either has its display on or it is in S0.
If you find that Task scheduler can resume from hibernation in the absence of power then you'll be in the same boat as me - the only reliable method of ensuring it does not resume in my rucksack is to shutdown instead.
- I only have one example of an S0 computer so I realise that your results might not be the same as mine.
- For all I know, you might find that, in your case, the TS setting for
run only if mains power is available setting works.
Some people disable S0 Modern standby and some of them report that they find S3 has automatically been enabled by that action. Mine does not have that benefit but you might wish to try it.
- Backup the relevant Registry key beforehand by exporting it in .reg format [the export in .txt format is useless so ignore that]
- Use the procedure in
Disabling modern standby - MSDocs to disable S0

- If you don't like the results then you can just double-click on the exported .reg file to overwrite the change you just made. {The .txt export would not allow you to use this response}.
If you ever want to read a .reg file then you can
- Drop it into a Notepad window, or
- Add .txt to the end of it so you can read it [so you'd end up with something like ExportedKey.reg.txt]
I use the second method. I like seeing the .reg.txt because it reminds me where the file cam form and what it could be used for.

Whilst it is not relevant to the current topic, I did carry out one change to my SO computer that you might wish to consider. I enabled networking in S0 so that my computer would carry on being on my network even if S0 kicked in.
