How do i execute a task when system goes into standby

Running Windows 10 64 Pro, for a HTPC.

i need to run a simple batch script whenever system goes into standby. I've tried the event trigger Kernal-Power 42 approach, but although the script starts, it doesn't finish before the system goes to sleep. 

Its not practical to manually run a script which includes standby, as i shut it down either from within an app or from a remote.

Ive also tried an app called Hibernate Trigger which works ok, but seems to lose its parameters when you restart.

    I suspect you would end up with a dog biting its own tail. A system goes into standby after being idle for x minutes. Running a batch file would immediately pull it out of standby.
