I've created simple script by using this: https://github.com/dahall/TaskScheduler package that is supposed to check the time and if it's after 14:30 create schdule to put the computer to hibernation 15 minutes after the task is created.

The task creating code looks like this:

    static void CreateTask(string taskName)
    {
        TaskDefinition td = TaskService.Instance.NewTask();
        td.RegistrationInfo.Description = "Powers off the computer at "   Time(15);

        TimeTrigger tTrigger = new TimeTrigger();
        tTrigger.StartBoundary = Time(15);
        td.Triggers.Add(tTrigger);
          
        td.Actions.Add(new ExecAction("shutdown -h"));

        TaskService.Instance.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition(taskName, td);

        Console.WriteLine("Task created successfully");
    }

The task is created with this sript but it does not run the task for some reason that I don't know why, can you please help me with this?

EDIT: Forgot to add my Time method, it's imple:

    static DateTime Time(int minutesToAdd)
    {
        DateTime timeNow = DateTime.Now;
        DateTime timeCalculated = timeNow.AddMinutes(minutesToAdd);

        return timeCalculated;
    }

I came up with somewhat a solution.

There seems to be something with the Action being just a command. So I changed the action to run CMD and input command /C shutdown -h and it works

td.Actions.Add(new ExecAction(@"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe", "/C shutdown -h", null));
