Automatic restart after power loss (i.e. no power switch, login, etc)?

Is there a function for automatic restart after power loss (i.e. no power switch, login, etc) for Revo build?

I don't think that's possible.

 

I think you'd need to do some research on using a UPS......and then modifying the UPS software in conjunction with using Windows Task Scheduler.

Maybe you could ask them in the APC forum and they would know how to do it......or if it's even possible.

 

Good luck!!

Now that I think about it.  The easiest thing to do is purchase a UPS.  But don't install the UPS software.  Set your Windows power settings on the Revo to sleep after 1 minute on battery power (a power outage).

 

And then use Windows task scheduler to wake the computer up at the interval you want.  If it's still on battery, it will go back to sleep.  If not on battery, it will stay powered on.

Windows Task Scheduler has the ability to use your passwrd login automatically.

Here is a suggestion for BIOS functionality for this (but no implementation)

Competing Azulle Byte Plus Fanless Mini Desktop PC have two options for the Power on Power Loss. You have the option of the jumper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-SpwmclltU , and you also have the BIOS setting for it.
