Recently, I needed to set up my computer to wake up from hibernation and sleep mode on a schedule. I first tried using Windows’ built-in tools, but they weren’t enough to solve my specific issue.

That’s when I discovered [**WakeupOnStandBy**](https://www.dennisbabkin.com/wosb/), a simple utility that requires no installation or admin rights.

The app has a single window where you can configure all the necessary wake-up parameters. It consists of five sections, each with its own additional settings:

1\. **Specify time to wake up computer** – Set the date and time for waking up your PC. If the task is recurring, no need to specify a date. You can also choose to turn on the monitor, keep it on, restore the network, or cancel the task if the computer wakes up for other reasons.

2\. **Run an application or script** – Set up a program or script to launch after the computer wakes up.

3\. **Specify what to do next** – Decide what happens next. You can send the computer back to sleep or hibernation after a timeout, shut it down, log out, prevent sleep mode, run another app, or do nothing.

4\. **Repeat these tasks** – Configure task repetition for specific days and weeks.

5\. **Disable execution** – Manage task cancellation settings. Below this section, you can review all configured parameters.

If you need multiple schedules, simply open another instance of **WakeupOnStandBy** and configure a new task.
