Delay loop stops working after system sleep
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2026 9:53 am
Hi everyone,
I’m using RoboTask to run a simple automation loop that checks a folder every 10 minutes using a “Delay” action inside a loop. It works perfectly while the PC is active, but after my computer goes to sleep and wakes up, the task no longer runs on schedule.
I’ve already tried enabling “Run task when RoboTask starts” and checked Windows power settings, but the delay timing still seems to break after sleep mode.
Is there a reliable way to keep timed loops consistent after sleep, or should I be using a different trigger (like a scheduler or system event) instead of Delay?
Thanks!
