Shutdown PC after being in Modern Sleep (S0) for x time

Question

I own a computer that uses Modern Sleep (S0). I would like to be able to close the lid or sleep the computer then have it shutdown on its own after a certain period of time. From what I can tell, S0 halts scheduled tasks and scripts so I haven't been able to get very far with those avenues. Is it possible to somehow use a wake timer that begins at the very instant the computer goes to sleep, then after a period of time elapses, the computer wakes to trigger a shutdown event?

Thanks!

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To achive this purpose, it's more recommended to use system power state S3 as in S0 the scheduler will not run as expected.

When it's going to S3, you can configure a task scheduler or scripts which will turn off the PC regularly.
